Pampsilota leleupi
: Penis valve (left, lateral aspect).
Head black with blue metallic lustre; antenna black. Thorax black with blue metallic lustre, except for yellow metapleuron. Legs dirty yellow to light brown with following black with more or less blue metallic lustre: coxae, trochanters, profemur, extreme apex of meso- and metatibia, protarsus, more or less distal tarsomeres of meso- and metatarsus. Wings strongly infuscate; intercostal area and small substigmal spot fuscous, stigma, costa, subcosta and rest of venation black. Abdomen yellow; terga 1/2 nearly entirely black, tergum 3 broadly black, tergum 4 blackish spotted medially.
Head very slightly enlarged behind eyes. Antenna 1.6
x
as long as maximum head width; flagellum not enlarged towards apex, triangular in cross section, scarcely flattened apically, interior surface with sharply compressed longitudinal carina, other longitudinal carinae weakly compressed. Eyes slightly converging towards clypeus. Anterior margin of the clypeus shallowly circularly emarginate, supraclypeal area scarcely protruding up to ventral limit of interantennal carinae, interantennal carinae sharply ridged, conspicuously converging below, extending about one quarter of way to clypeus. Frons, supraclypeal area and clypeus moderately densely micropunctate, shiny, vertex and gena sparsely micropunctate, shiny; pubescence brownish. Mesoscutum sparsely micropunctate, shiny; pubescence similar to that on head. Abdomen irregularly microsculptured, with conspicuous dense pubescence. Penis valve: Fig.

Distribution.
Democratic Republic of the Congo (Fig.

).
Diagnosis.
Pampsilota leleupi
resembles
Pampsilota afer
in its large body size, thorax without pale makings, and abdomen at least partly pale, but
Pampsilota leleupi
is easily recognised by its extensively pale legs (largely black in
Pampsilota afer
).
Remarks.
The genitalia preparation mentioned above ("Genit. ♂, H4-47") was not available (personal communication from Stephane Hanot, collection manager at MRAC, 26.02.2015). The illustration of the penis valve is therefore taken from
Pasteels (1953)
