South African Nomada species

As no phylogeny of the South African Nomada species is available, taxa are arranged in a practical order facilitating their identification: The readily identifiable and quite distinct N. kobrowi and N. gigas are treated first. These species are known from both sexes (female N. kobrowi described here) and are characterized by species specific coloration, namely the conspicuous yellowish maculation of the metasoma. The remaining species are black with rich reddish-brown maculation with N. roggeveldi nov.sp. treated first as it is morphologically more isolated (flat clypeus, labrum with single tooth) followed by the other four very similar and presumably more closely related species in alphabetical order.
