Eudorylas angolae sp. nov.

(Figs 14G–K)

Diagnosis: The thorax and the abdomen of this species are covered with exceptionally dense, pale hairs. The fifth tergite and the last tarsi are dark, but the body is generally yellow (abdomen shining). Surstyli are slightly asymmetrical, bent ventrally; ST8 with large m.a, occupying 2/3 of width of ST8. SES with hairs at base of SS; gonopods symmetrical, shorter than PG; phallic guide straight and blunt in ventral view, bent towards SS and pointed at tip in lateral view; phallus trifid, long and coiled, distal part membranous.

Type material: Angola: 1♂, HT, Salazar, I.I.A.A., 9–15.iii.1972, (A26), Southern African Exp., B.M. 1972-I. (BMNH); 1♂, PT, same data as HT (HNHM).

Hind trochanter with 4–5 pale hairs on ventral side. Pulvilli as long as last tarsal segment.

Wing. Fourth costal section 1.2 times as long as third costal section. Cross-vein R-M at 1/3 of discal cell. Pterostigma fully coloured. Hairs on tegula missing.

Abdomen. Viewed obliquely from front tergites completely shining yellow-brown, only T5 shining black. Hairs dispersed, long, pale and well developed. Laterally 5–6 long yellow spines on first tergite. Postabdomen in dorsal view: T5 2.5 times as long as T8. Genitalia undissected: completely yellow, m.a. large, occupying 3/4 of width of ST8.

Genitalia. Surstyli slightly asymmetrical, (OS broader in dorsal view), both bent ventrally; ST8 with large m.a, occupying 2/3 of width of ST8 (Fig. 14G).
