Ascogaster kibalensis sp. nov. does not have spine-like apophyses on the propodeum but we describe it here because its overall similarity with Chelonus (C.) mayi sp. nov. Ascogaster kibalensis sp. nov. is closely related to A. mayamotensis De Saeger, 1948 as indicated by the presence of an obvious transverse ridge on propodeum with four strong and rounded angles. But it differs clearly by the color of the carapace (yellowish rather than blackish). The yellow color also occurs in C. (C.) mayi sp. nov., but the species can be distinguished by the presence of fore wing vein 1-SR+M and the fewer number of flagellomeres in C. (C.) mayi sp. nov. (all characters separating Ascogaster from the Chelonus).</p><p>Etymology. From the name of the locality.</p><p>Distribution record. Ethiopian (Uganda).</p><p>Type material.

Although more than 500 species (24 in Ethiopian region) have been described, the actual affinities of Chelonus (Microchelonus) spp. cannot be properly determined without a comprehensive revision. Chelonus (M.) matilei sp. nov. and C. (M.) merdicus sp. nov. together form a new species-group characterized by the presence of small lateral spine-like apophyses and a large dorsal white patch on carapace. We have seen at least two other undescribed taxa from Reunion differing in the shape of the apical opening of carapace, the apical sculpture of carapace, the sculpture on vertex, and the color of scapus and hind coxa. They superficially resemble Chelonus (Microchelonus) curvimaculatus Cameron, 1906 (Figs 45–47) but the undescribed species from the Reunion have no propodeal spines.</p><p>Etymology.
