Male unknown. Differential diagnosis Moderately sized and yellowish-orange overall; differentiated from most other Afrotropical species by the long and basally noticeably narrow female femoral tooth. Such a narrowed tooth is only otherwise found in P. afrikaner sp. nov. and P. yakoma sp. nov. The former, from South Africa , has, however, a longer malar line and longer antennae, and the latter has a coriaceous to smooth mesonotum. Pristomerus yoccolo sp. nov. is otherwise somewhat similar to P. babinga sp. nov. , whose femoral tooth is distinctly stouter and in which the clypeus is more transverse and the inner orbits diverge ventrally. Type material Holotype IVORY COAST : ♀ , “Côte d’Ivoire: Aman Ikro 50 km . N. W. Abengourou J. Decelle II.1963 ” ( MRAC ). Description Female ( holotype ) B 6.3; A 4.8; F 4.3; CT 1.9; ML 0.5; POL 0.9; OOL 1.1; Fl n-1 0.9 ; ASM 2.1; OT 1.9; FFT 2. COLOUR. Yellowish-orange overall, head and mesosoma barely darker dorsally, with basal infuscate markings on tergites 2 and 3; flagellum and ovipositor sheath dark brown; wings hyaline, venation brown. HEAD. Face moderately punctate, weakly bulging mid-longitudinally; inner margins of eyes subparallel; clypeus transverse and long, almost smooth; malar line moderately short; frons, vertex and temple finely coriaceous; occipital carina joining ventrally hypostomal carina shortly above mandible base; antenna with 30 flagellomeres, penultimate flagellomere slightly shorter than wide. MESOSOMA. Moderately elongate; pronotum quite smooth; mesopleuron and metapleuron moderately densely punctate with a shallowly striate oblique furrow below speculum, speculum hardly sculptured; mesoscutum densely punctate-granulate, punctures confluent along notaulus into fine transverse rugosities; scutellum punctate; propodeum densely punctate-granulate, area superomedia moderately elongate.
