Diagnosis
. The female of
A. mourei
sp. nov.
can be immediately recognized by the large, toothlike, well sclerotized projection mesally on T8+9.
Description
Male.
Unknown.
Female.
Measurements (in mm). Body length, 2.48; wing length, 1.80; wing width, 0.72. Color. Regularly shining dark brown, with light brown transverse stripe on all femora and tibiae. Head elliptical, macrotrichia covering posterior 3/4 of occiput, microtrichia covering posterior half; eyebridge complete; flagellum with 8 articles, single regular whorl of setae per flagellomere except for distal one, with 2 whorls; lateral ocelli about twice width of mesal one; no setae on front above antennae; labella small, maxillary palpus well developed, slender to apex, covered with setae and microtrichia, sensory pits and sensillae absent; cardo well developed. Thorax. Antepronotal setae, 32; proepisternals, 10; proepimerals, 8; spiracular sclerite setae, 8; anepisternals, 10/8; katepisternals, 13; mesepimerals, 6/3; merals, 4; subspiraculars, 4; supraalars, 6; pedicelars, one; a number of longer scutellar setae not in regular row. Wing (
Fig. 26
). M 1 long, broken at base, not converging basally towards M2; A1 produced; cell m1 with 3 macrotrichia; m2, 15; m4, 17–21; cuA2, 10–15; a1, 4–5. Abdomen. S7 and T7 rectangular, unmodified. Terminalia (
Fig. 27
). Similar to those of
A. clivicola
, with pair of small, lateral tubercular projections on S8 with a number of setae, plus additional group of setae more anteriorly. T8+9 with odd mesal, wellsclerotized projection. Terminalia characteristically devoid of microtrichia.
Etymology
. This species is named after Father Jesus Santiago Moure, eminent Brazilian hymenopterist, who not only contributed to the systematics of the Neotropical bees, but also supervised a number of Brazilian entomologists.

Comments.
The presence of the pair of bursae associated with S
8 in
the female terminalia is shared with other Neotropical species of the genus.
Anapausis mourei
sp. nov.
is similar to
A. clivicola
and to
A. fuscinervis
, as can be inferred from the shape of the maxillary palpus, of the proepimeron, and of the spiracular sclerite. The shape of M
1 in
the wing, directed basally toward R5, not toward M1+2, is shared as well with
A. clivicola
sp. nov.
and
A. fuscinervis
. The very typical sclerotized mesal tooth on the female T8+9 is shared with
A. fuscinervis
, but the lateral setose lobes on S8 present in
A. mourei
sp. nov.
are shared with
A. clivicola
sp. nov.
, not with
A. fuscinervis
. The description of the male of
A. mourei
sp. nov.
would help clarify the relationships of these three species within this small clade of the genus.
