Sculpture of medial mesoscutum: areolate. Sculpture of lateral mesoscutum: same as medial mesoscutum with a subtle confusion of sculptural elements. Notaulus in female: absent. Parapsidal line: delimited. Sculpture of scutellum: areolate. Median furrow on scutellum: absent, present as a weak indentation. Posterior margin of scutellum: emarginate. Outer projection of the propodeum: present as distinct corner or posteriorly projecting spine. Posterior margin of propodeal shelf between inner and outer propodeal projections in female: nearly straight, perpendicular to lateral margin of propodeal shelf. Sculpture of ventral pronotum: foveate reticulate, becoming smooth at anterolateral corner. Anterior pronotal pit: small, large. Pronotal cervical sulcus: poorly defined. Mesepimeral sulcus: indicated by dorsoventral line of foveae. Sculpture of femoral depression in female: anterior half smooth, posterior half finely foveate. Mesopleural carina: indicated by one or two rows of punctures. Sculpture of ventral mesepisternum: foveate, irregularly areolate. Pilosity of metapleural triangle in female: present as many short fine white setae. Sculpture of ventral area of metapleuron: smooth. Metasoma: Submarginal ridge on T1: percurrent, well-defined. Sublateral carina on T2: percurrent. Sculpture of T2–T3: reticulate rugose. Sculpture of T4: reticulate rugose. Sculpure of T5: longitudinally strigose. Shape of subapical T 6 in female in dorsal view: short, width along anterior margin at least three times the length. Longitudinal medial keel on S1: absent.

Sculpture of medial S 5 in female: effaced to smooth. Sculpture of lateral S 3 in female: foveolate. Sculpture of lateral S 4 in female: reticulate rugose, foveolate. Sculpture of lateral S 5 in female: reticulate rugose. Sculpture of marginal depression of S 2 in female: mostly smooth, with scattered punctures or shallow rugulae, smooth. Sculpture of marginal depression of S 3 in female: mostly smooth, with scattered punctures or shallow rugulae. Sculpture of marginal depression of S 4 in female: rugulose. Sculpture of marginal depression of S 5 in female: rugulose. Apical spine on S 6 in female: extending beyond apex of T6 and visible in dorsal view. Diagnosis. Oreiscelio majikununuensis is most similar to Oreiscelio cultrarius in general appearance. Th e females may be separated from all other species of Oreiscelio by the straight posterior margin of the propodeum (Fig. 76). Th e long ventral mandibular tooth (Figs 77, 78) represents the largest size difference between mandibular teeth in Oreiscelio. Etymology. The type specimen was collected in an isolated patch of Afromontane forest on a mountain called Maji Kununua, which is Swahili for “place of water”. Link to distribution map. 37 Material examined.
