Diagnosis.
Chauvinia
is a highly distinctive genus, mainly characterized by the conformation of the propodeum and the metasoma. Mandible bidentate; clypeus strongly transverse, its ventral margin sharp and more or less regularly rounded; flagellum of female enlarged from middle; temples moderately swollen behind eyes; occipital and hypostomal carinae joining above mandibular base; epomia present, moderate; notaulus indistinct; propodeum elongate, in profile slightly and regularly rounded to uniformly sloping backwards in a single plane; median areas of propodeum fused into a single
mid-longitudinal
area, lateral areas fully carinate; postpectal carina interrupted in front of mid coxae; fore wing with areolet pentagonal, closed; hind wing with distal abscissa of Cu1 present, unpigmented; tarsal claws simple; metasoma of female elongate to strongly elongate, ventral margins of apical tergites overlapping, hiding sternites; metasoma of male not so unusually modified; gastrocoelus and thyridium indistinct; ovipositor sheath wide, barely extending beyond metasomal apex.
Species richness and distribution.
Strictly Afrotropical genus, with three species of which one is newly described here.
