03AC87CA4D43FFCA43B4CB523D2CF9D1.taxon	description	Characters (1) Small to middle-sized species (TL 4.0 – 6.5 mm), with integument frequently coarsely punctate. (2) Supraclypeal area usually bounded laterally by two fine outwardly curved carinae. (3) Pronotum broadened, mostly laterally expanded, often carinate in front and with lateral edges pointed. (4) S 7 of the male with four apical lobi, the distal ones without setae, the proximal ones often with a row of setae, lamellae or teeth; S 8 has mainly a blunt apical process. The basic pattern of the typical curvicarinata-group is shown in Figs 5 – 7: distal lobi of S 7 are formed as small flags, the proximal ones each with a largely marginal row of coarse setae.	en	Dathe, Holger H.

03AC87CA4D73FFFA43B4CFA93FD0F8D7.taxon	discussion	Remarks When Cockerell (1942: 14) described Hylaeus simulans as a new species from R. E. Turner’s " Series 7 ", he designated Mossel Bay (Cape Province, South Africa) as the type locality, but mentioning also an additional location, Katberg (Cape Province). The type series of H. simulans Ckll. is preserved in the London collection and consists of the holotype, type specimen no. 17. a. 1404, and four paratypes which all originate from Mossel Bay, and there is one female paratypus from Katberg. Recently D. Notton located in the NHML collection another female from Katberg, collected by R. E. Turner and obviously belonging to that Series 7, but without a name label. The two available females from Katberg, one of them a paratypus of H. simulans, are obviously specimens of an undescribed species. They differ from the H. simulans type series primarily by their round face and the fine punctation of T 2. Although the tergite punctation varies among specimens of H. simulans [now H. rugipunctus (Alfken)], the difference to the new species is substantial. Moreover it is striking that H. simulans was captured in March and April at sea level, while the new species was found in November at an altitude of 4000 feet (ca. 1200 m).	en	Dathe, Holger H.

03AC87CA4D79FFF243B4CCB23EDDFE30.taxon	discussion	Remarks According to the male terminalia, this species is probably closely related to H. robertianus, H. krebsianus and H. gabonicus (robertianus-group). The punctation on T 1 can vary, in the material studied it is a little closer in males of Zimbabwe, and more fine in males from Kenya.	en	Dathe, Holger H.

03AC87CA4D0CFF8743B4CD8A3F28F890.taxon	discussion	Remarks The male is described here for the first time. According to the male terminalia, the species belongs to the curvicarinatus-group. We found some variation. Other than described above, there are males with black supraclypeal area and 4 bristles only on basal lobi of S 7 and gonoforcipes narrower. The species is widespread in Africa and seems to vary greatly between populations, especially in surface sculpture and colour. The mesonotum and the mesopleurae can be punctate strong to coarse with different density. The color variations of the females range from limited yellow-orange staining of clypeus and mandibles to a predominantly bright face; as well as variations in the coloration of the legs from totally black to nearly fully yellow. Stable combinations of these features which would justify a taxonomic separation could not be found. Rather, it appears to be a geographical gradient, hence the western animals from Senegal, Burkina Faso, Benin and Cameroon, show a coarser and stronger mesosoma punctation, while eastern specimens from Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and further south from Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa have finer surface structure. H. xanthostoma is one of the most common and the one with the broadest known distribution out of all the Deranchylaeus species treated here,	en	Dathe, Holger H.
