Anthracites bloyeti Brongniart, 1897

Specimens studied: Holotype, male, Kondoa (Qurougourou), Tanzania, coll. M Bloyet, depository: MNHN Paris. Anthracites bloyeti was described from central Tanzania near the town Kondoa, about 250 km south of Mt Kilimanjaro. The coloration (triangle-shaped fascia on the face, longitudinal fascia on dorsum of head to prontum), shape of fastigium verticis and the pronotum, the tegmina and wings and the male genitalia characterize this species as belonging to the newly erected genus Afroagraecia . Afroanthracites species show a different coloration, the tegmina are covered under the metazona of the pronotum while wings are lacking, and the male genitalia are completely differently shaped.
