15. Nuristanilla Lelej in Lelej & Kabakov, 1980

( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 45–52 )

Nuristanilla Lelej in Lelej & Kabakov, 1980: 193, ♀; Lelej & Brothers 2008: 40; Brothers & Lelej 2017: 96, ♀; Pagliano et al. 2020: 178.

Type species. Nuristanilla kabakovi Lelej in Lelej & Kabakov, 1980, ♀, by original designation.

Diagnosis. MALE. Unknown. FEMALE. Head slightly narrower its height, but distinctly wider than pronotum. Clypeus with median basal process. Ratio of pedicel and F1–3 0.4:0.9:0.7:0.9. Mesosoma generally widened posterad, scutellar scale developed. Pygidial plate elongated, parallelsided, carinated laterally, with divergent striae, apically smooth. T2 with rounded cuticular (not setal!) yellowish spot, T3–5 with sparse whitish setae.

Diversity and distribution. One species, based on the female sex only, is recognized. Only the holotype collected by O.N. Kabakov in Eastern Afghanistan is known for this species .

Remarks. The genus is closest to Ephutomma by the antennal ratio of F1–3 and by the width of the head and pronotum, but differs by having a yellowish cuticular spot on T2. The same character distinguishes Nuristanilla from Smicromyrme .
