574DA04A042029FD8384CC612117958F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Morphologically similar to the newly described species, P. sagittaria sp. n., both species having enlarged spine-like microtrichia. Polynema dikobraz, however, has a normal ovipositor, and is closely related to an undescribed species, from which it can be separated by the length of the modified wing spine and relative length of the first antennal flagellar segment.	en	Noort, Simon van, Triapitsyn, Serguei V.

FB8B7E1DD8D93D785F62BE15A06BA5F7.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species epithet " sagittaria " is Latin for armed with bow, with reference to the bowed ovipositor sheaths.

FB8B7E1DD8D93D785F62BE15A06BA5F7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The highly modified ovipositor immediately distinguishes this species from all other described Polynema species in Africa. Morphologically similar to the recently described species, P. dikobraz from Madagascar, and the second undescribed Madagascan species, all three species having similar modified fore wing microtrichia.	en	Noort, Simon van, Triapitsyn, Serguei V.
