Ctenocalus View in CoL SZEPLIGETI, 1908
Ctenocalus View in CoL SZEPLIGETI, 1908: 51, 54. Type species: Ctenocalus cephalotus SZEPLIGETI, 1908 (Stockholm).
Magwenga MORLEY, 1919: 166. Type species: Magwenga maculipennis MORLEY, 1919 (London).
Ctenocalus View in CoL HEINRICH, 1933: 162; Magwenga MORLEY, 1919 as synonym.
This is a strictly Afrotropical genus with only 3 species described so far, occurring in Eastern ( Tanzania, Uganda) and Southern Africa ( South Africa). Ctenocalus View in CoL can be easily differentiated from the other two genera of the tribe Ctenocalini occurring in the Afrotropical area ( Magwengiella View in CoL HEINRICH and Seyrigiella HEINRICH) by the following characteristics: propodeum without or with incomplete carination; all claws of ♀ pectinate, and notauli obsolete, present only at the base ( HEINRICH 1967 -1968: 378).
