Description
Measurements, males (mm) (N = 3). Body length 24–25. Length of pronotum 7.0– 7.5. Length of elytra 22–24. Length of hind femur 14–15. Diagnosis.— A. shimbaensis n. sp. has very long elytra that surpass the abdominal apex while all other species have shorter wings. The black fascia on head and pronotum is less conspicuous than in other species and the triangle-shaped black fasica on the face missing. The supra-anal plate is deeply sulcate and thus seems to be folded into two parts while other Afroagraecia species have a less sulcate supra-anal plate and of different shape. The apical cercal teeth are very stout and twisted and very characteristic for this species.
