Afrocampsis van Achterberg & Quicke 1990

Genus Afrocampsis van Achterberg & Quicke, 1990 Type species: A. griseosetosus van Achterberg & Quicke, 1990. van Achterberg & Quicke 1990: 156; van Achterberg & Austin 1992: 9; Yu et al. 2016. The monotypic Afrotropical genus Afrocampsis van Achterberg & Quicke was originally described in the subfamily Sigalphinae (van Achterberg & Quicke 1990), and in the revision of the sigalphine genera it was separated (together with Malasigalphus) in the tribe Afrocampsini (van Achterberg & Austin 1992). However, Afrocampsis was later transferred to the subfamily Acampsohelconinae and united here with the genera Canalicephalus Gibson and Urosigalphus Ashmead (van Achterberg 2002; Quicke et al. 2008). The relation of these three extant genera was additionally supported on the molecular level (Quicke et al. 2008; Jasso-Martinez et al. 2022), while the taxonomical position of the fossil genus Acampsohelcon Tobias, 1987 (Tobias 1987) requires additional verification. Prior to this work, Afrocampsis described from Republic of Cameroon and South Africa was monotypic (Yu et al. 2016). However, the genus is no longer monotypic with a new species described here from material collected in the Kwazulu-Natal Province of South Africa.
