Common name . ‘Wagner’s delicate lacewing’. Diagnosis . Forewing with few small irregular markings midway along inner and middle gradate series; hind wing with larger ovoid spot midway along inner gradate series and smaller spot on cross-vein further along gradate series, darker venation and faint suffusion in end-twigging marginally along posterodistal part of hind wing; forewing with three gradate series, hind wing with two gradate series; forewing RA area with RA-RP cross-veins simple, lacking interconnecting cross-veins; basal half of forewing with irregular cross-veins connecting RP branches; inner gradate series of hind wing sharply recurved anteriorly at midpoint in a distinct sigmoid shape; hind wing with distinct ovoid marking midway along inner gradate series; end-twigging present along most of posterior margin of both wings. Comments . As mentioned previously, A. wagneri is in the group of Afrotropical species all characterised by a hind wing with the inner-most gradate series arranged in a sigmoid shape with a distinct ovoid marking mid way, as well as the posterodistal margin of the hind wing with suffuse infuscate shading. Apochrysa wagneri is very similar to A. leptalea , and is only differentiated by the presence of two gradates series in the hind wing, while A. leptalea has three. Apochrysa wagneri is known from Rwanda . The holotype specimen is housed in the National Collection of Insects, Pretoria.
