The female is unknown. Etymology The species is dedicated to Hergen (‘Hergi’) Erhardt, Edewecht ( Germany ) who joined and supported me (MK) in a couple of collecting trips; noun in apposition. Material examined ( 1 specimen ) Holotype SOUTH AFRICA • ♂ ; Roggeveld Mts , 2 km SE of Farm Allemansdam , burnt area; 31°49′32″ S , 19°59′55″ E ; alt. 1290 m a.s.l. ; 2 Sep. 2017 ; MK leg.; RCMK . Description Female Unknown. Fig. 4. Scrapter hergi Kuhlmann sp. nov. , ♂, holotype (RCMK). A . Lateral view. B . Genitalia (dorsal view). C . Metasoma (dorsal view). D . Genitalia (lateral view). E . Head. F . S7 (dorsal view). G . Hind tibia. H . S8, apical end. HEAD. Head longer than wide. Integument black, except mandible partly dark reddish-brown. Face covered with long, greyish-white, erect hair. Malar area medially narrow, almost linear. Antenna dorsally dark brown, ventrally orange-brown ( Fig. 4E ). MESOSOMA. Integument black. Mesoscutal disc between punctures strongly reticulate and matt; disc finely, very shallowly and almost invisible, very sparsely (i = 3–5 d) punctate. Mesoscutum, scutellum, metanotum, mesepisternum and propodeum covered with long, greyish, erect hair ( Fig. 4A ). WINGS. Slightly yellowish-brown; wing venation and stigma brown. LEGS. Integument black to dark reddish-brown. Hind tibia inside apically broadened, forming a ± right angle ( Fig. 4G ). Vestiture greyish-white. METASOMA. Integument black, apical margins of terga partly narrowly translucent dark reddish-brown ( Fig. 4C ). Discs of T1–T2 without hair, following terga with sparse and short but successively more and longer hair; apical tergal hair bands missing on all terga ( Fig. 4C ). T1–T3 densely (i = 0.5–1 d) but finely punctate, T4 and following terga almost invisible very finely and superficially punctate; between punctures superficially sculptured and shiny to slightly matt; T2–T4 with narrow, superficially sculptured but shiny apical tergal depression ( Fig. 4C ). S3 and particularly S4–S5 with sparse, long apical hair fringes. TERMINALIA. Genitalia ( Fig. 4B, D ), S7 ( Fig. 4F ) and terminal plate of S8 ( Fig. 4H ) as illustrated. Distribution Only known from the type locality in the northern part of the Roggeveld Mts south of Calvinia. Floral hosts Unknown. Seasonal activity September.
