Gonatopus savanensis Olmi 2007b: 224 .

Description. ♀. Apterous; body length 5.9 mm. Head black, except mandible, clypeus, malar space and two short stripes along orbits testaceous; antenna testaceous, except antennomere 3, proximal half of 4, 8–10 darkened; mesosoma black, except lateral regions of pronotum partly testaceous; metasoma brown; legs testaceous, except clubs of femora slightly darkened.Antenna clavate; antennomeres in following proportions: 12:6:26:17:15:11:10:9.5:8.5:10. Head excavated, shiny, with frons unsculptured; vertex, temple and occiput granulate; frontal line complete; occipital carina absent; POL = 2; OL = 2; OOL = 9; greatest breadth of lateral ocelli about as long as OL. Palpal formula 6/3. Pronotum crossed by strong transverse impression, with anterior collar and disc shiny, unsculptured; lateral regions of pronotum partly granulate and partly sculptured by longitudinal striae. Mesoscutum shiny, sculptured by few longitudinal striae, laterally with two strong pointed apophyses situated at border of mesoscutellum. Mesoscutellum shiny, smooth, sloping anteriorly. Metanotum very short, transversely striate and deeply excavated behind mesoscutellum ( Fig. 239F ). Metapectal-propodeal disc shiny, unsculptured; propodeal declivity sculptured by many transverse striae; mesopleuron and metapleuron transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture distinct and complete. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 20:3.5:7:18:27. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 236B ) with one small subapical tooth and one row of six peg-like setae + one bristle. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 236B ) with two rows of 7 + 13 lamellae; apex with approximately 21 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
