Abstract
ABSTRACT A new Afrotropical genus (Ifrika gen. n.) and three new species (Ifrika mnyama sp. n., Ifrika nyigu sp. n. and Ifrika wadudu sp. n.) are described and illustrated. A fourth species, Ifrika pauculihirta comb. n., is transferred from Dissomphalus. The males of this genus are easily recognised among the other genera of Pristocerinae by having the following combination of characteristics: the median clypeal lobe indistinct from the lateral ones, the dorsal pronotal area very short, the hypopygium with an inner membrane and a posterior margin deeply excavated, the genitalia with the harpe strongly incurved, almost fully divided, the aedeagus with a basal cover plate, the mediodorsal fold, and the median projection ventrally curved and apodeme dorsally curved. A key to all species and some comments on the Afrotropical Bethylidae fauna are also provided. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:76C9CD41-F991-4F4E-9E4C-C16E2F62ECC3
