Head mostly black, mesosoma mostly yellowish orange, metasoma testaceous; antenna with a pale median ring; most of microsculpture densely punctate to punctate-reticulate but mesoscutum transversely striate; clypeus apico-laterally bluntly pointed; hypostomal carina joining occipital carina shortly but distinctly above mandibular base; propodeum without carination; gastrocoelus and thyridium deep, inter-thyridiae interval narrow.

B 7.5-7.6; A 5.5-5.7; F 4.7-4.9 (Holotype B 7.6; A 5.6; F 4.8). Color . Head black with lower face and clypeus tending to dark red, mouthparts dark yellowish, scape and pedicel pale yellow, flagellum fuscous with basal flagellomeres lighter and flagellomeres 7-10 white; mesosoma yellowish-orange with mesoscutum somewhat darker and dorsal margin of pronotum yellow; legs yellowish-orange with all trochanters, fore and middle coxae pale yellow; wings hyaline, venation light brown; metasomal tergites testaceous with median black maculae of variable extent on tergites 3-5. Head. Hemispherical, entirely densely and coarsely punctate to puncto-striate ; mandible regularly tapered toward apex; malar line moderately long; clypeus triangular, its apical margin convex with two strong blunt teeth apico-laterally ; face slightly transverse with a very weak median tubercle between toruli; ocellar triangle distinctly wider than high; temple long, regularly rounded behind eyes; hypostomal carina joining occipital carina distinctly above mandibular base; antenna hardly enlarged medio-apically , with 30-31 flagellomeres. Mesosoma. Shining; pronotum rugulose, epomia weak; mesopleuron and metapleuron densely punctate-reticulate but speculum smooth; sternaulus moderate, reaching mid-length of mesopleuron; epicnemial carina ventrally moderately raised, slightly kinked medio-ventrally ; postpectal carina interrupted in front of mid coxae; mesonotum transversely striate; notaulus anteriorly moderate, posteriorly obsolete; scutellum weakly convex, carinate to apical quarter; propodeum without carination, transversely aciculo-rugose , sculpture anteriorly weaker. Wings. Hind wing with distal abscissa of Cu1 joining 1/Cu& cu-a below its middle. Metasoma. All tergites punctate-reticulate ; tergite 1 moderately slender, regularly widened to apex; gastrocoelus within basal 1/5, wide and deep, thyridium transverse, inter-thyridiae interval very narrow; ovipositor straight. MALE. Unknown. Etymology. Named after the type locality. Noun in apposition. Distribution. South Africa ( Kwazulu-Natal , Western Cape), Zimbabwe. Figure 25. Heterischnus mfongosi Holotype female.
