Inner tooth of claws hardly visible (if present). Hind ocelli very close to the hind margin of the head (distance of a hind ocellus from the hind margin of the head about 3/4x as long as the diameter of a hind ocellus). Head densely and roughly punctured, hardly shiny. Temples narrow. Mesonotal lobes densely and finely punctured, shiny. Mesopleuron unpunctured, with shallow superficial surface sculpture, shiny. Inner hind tibial spur relatively short. Length of inner hind tibial spur: length of basitarsus = 5 : 16. Clypeus truncate. Malar space long, about one and half time as long as the diameter of the front ocellus. Female. Body entirely black including mouthparts (except apex of mandible) and antenna. Tegula whitish. Legs: femora black, apices of fore and middle femora yellowish white, tibiae and tarsi yellowish white but apical fifth of hind tibia and hind tarsus (hind basitarsus dorsally brownish yellow) dark blackish brown infuscate. Cenchri greyish white. Wings hyaline, stigma, costa transparent light brown. Venation brown. Ratios of the antennal segments: 4 : 2 : 17 : 14 : 13 : 12 : 12 : 12 : 13. Inner tooth of claws missing. Hind ocelli very close to the hind margin of the head (distance of a hind ocellus from the hind margin of the head about 3/4x as long as the diameter of a hind ocellus). Head densely and roughly punctured, hardly shiny. Temples narrow. Mesonotal lobes densely and finely punctured, shiny. Mesopleuron unpunctured with shallow superficial surface sculpture, shiny. Abdominal tergites (including propodeum) with fine surface sculpture. Inner hind tibial spur relatively short. Length of inner hind tibial spur: length of basitarsus = 1 : 3. Clypeus truncate. Malar space long, about 1 and half time as long as the diameter of the front ocellus. Pristiphora murielae Lacourt, 1995 Types checked: Paratype: male: Port d'envalira (AND.), 2500 m, 18. vii. 1993, J. Lacourt, Pristiphora murielae, male, J.

Distance between the hind ocelli from the hind margin of the head about as long as the diameter of a hind ocellus. Clypeus truncate. Gena long, about one and half times longer than the diameter of the front ocellus. Frontal area flat and raised. Mesonotal lobes minutely, densely and shallowly punctured, moderately shiny. Mesopleuron shiny with shallow, superficial undefined surface sculpture. First abdominal tergite smooth and shiny, the others with hatched surface sculpture. Length of inner hind tibial spur : length of hind basitarsus= 1 : 2. Male. Body black, including tegula, mouthparts (except apex of mandible) and antenna.

Ratios of the antennal segments: 3 : 2 : 20 : 20 : 20 : 18 : 17 : 16 : 18. Head densely, uniformly, moderately deeply, moderately roughly punctured, moderately shiny. Head contracted behind the eyes. Distance the hind ocelli and the hind margin of the head about as long as the diameter of a hind ocellus. Clypeus truncate. Gena long, about two times longer than diameter of the front ocellus. Frontal area flat and raised. Mesonotal lobes minutely, densely and shallowly punctured, moderately shiny. Mesopleuron shiny with shallow, superficial undefined surface sculpture.
