Metatibial gland present ( Fig 3 ); scape extends at least length of first funicular segment past posterior lateral corner of head; lower margin of anterior medial area of clypeus convex; frontal lobes subquadrate ......................................... ...................................................... B. sulcata species complex - Metatibial gland absent; scape shorter, barely reaches posterior lateral corner of head or extends past less than length of first funicular segment; lower margin of anterior medial area of clypeus convex, straight or slightly concave; frontal lobes rounded .......…….…………………………………………. 2 The legend for Map 1 (the terrestrial ecoregions of Africa, Burgess et al., 2004 ), used with permission from Island Press, Washington, D.C. 2(1).
