The male is unknown. Etymology Named after the Nieuwoudtville. Bokkeveld Plateau that stretches along the escarpment north and south of Material examined ( 1 specimen ) Holotype SOUTH AFRICA • ♀ ; 12 km NW of Nieuwoudtville , Farm Avontuur , Fynbos ; 31°16′18″ S , 19°02′55″ E ; alt. 770 m a.s.l. ; 9 Sep. 2018 ; MK leg; RCMK . Description Female BODY LENGTH. 4.3 mm . HEAD. Head slightly wider than long. Integument black, except part of mandibles dark reddish-brown. Face sparsely covered with long, greyish, erect hair ( Fig. 2B ). Clypeus slightly convex with coarse and relatively sparse (i = 1–3 d) punctation; surface between punctures superficially sculptured but shiny ( Fig. 2B ). Malar area medially narrow, almost linear. Antenna dorsally blackish-brown, ventrally yellowish-brown. MESOSOMA. Integument black, tegula dark reddish-brown. Mesoscutal disc between punctures superficially shagreened and slightly matt; disc relatively densely (i = 1–2 d) but relatively coarsely punctate ( Fig. 2C ). Metanotum about as long as basal area of propodeum, apically with distinct narrow carinate depression ( Fig. 2D ). Propodeum basally only laterally distinctly but relatively finely carinate ( Fig. 2D ). Mesoscutum, scutellum, metanotum, mesepisternum and propodeum sparsely covered with short, greyish, erect hair ( Fig. 2A ). WINGS. Brownish; wing venation and stigma brown. LEGS. Integument black. Vestiture greyish to yellowish-brown; scopa greyish-white, dorsally brownish. METASOMA. Integument black, apical margins of terga broadly black to translucent dark reddish-brown ( Fig. 2E ). Disc of T1–T2 without hair; following terga with very short but increasingly more and longer hair; apical tergal hair bands missing on all terga ( Fig. 2E ). Prepygidial and pygidial fimbriae relatively short, brownish. T1–T4 densely (i = 0.5–1 d) and relatively coarsely punctate, T1–T2 between punctures smooth and shiny, T3–T4 between punctures superficially reticulate but shiny; T2–T4 with polished and shiny apical tergal depression ( Fig. 2E ).
