Discothyrea aisnetu Hita Garcia & Lieberman sp. n. (Figs. 4C, 6C, 7C, 8C, 9C, 10C, 11C, 12C, 14C, 23, 24; Supp Video S3 [online only]) Type Material HOLOTYPE , pinned worker, TANZANIA, Kilimanjaro Region, Mwanga, Kindoroko Forest Reserve, −3.7452, 37.64267, 1739 m, primary forest, leaf litter, Winkler, collection code CEPF-TZ-5.2, 5.–8.IX.2005 ( P. Hawkes, J. Makwati & R. Mtana) (SAMC: CASENT0235475). PARATYPES , one worker with same data as holotype (BMNH: CASENT0250399); and one worker with same data as holotype except collection code CEPF-TZ-5.4 and hand collected (CASC: CASENT0250394). Cybertype. Volumetric raw data (in DICOM format), 3D rotation video, still images of surface volume rendering, and 3D surface (in PLY format) of the physical holotype (CASENT0235475) in addition to stacked digital color images illustrating head in full-face view, profile and dorsal views of the body.The data are deposited at Dryad (Hita Garcia et al. 2019, http://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.3qm4183) and can be freely accessed as virtual representation of the type. In addition to the cybertype data at Dryad, we also provide a freely accessible 3D surface model of the holotype at Sketchfab (Model 3). Diagnosis The following character combination separates D. aisnetu from the other species of the complex: mesosomal profile high-rounded and extremely convex; relatively large species (HW 0.57–0.61; WL 0.80– 0.90); in dorsal view mesosoma relatively thin and slender (DMI 53–58; DMI2 85–88); mesotibia without apicoventral spur; AT3 around 1.1 to 1.2 times longer than AT4 (ASI 85–90).
