Discothyrea gryphon Hita Garcia & Lieberman sp. n. (Figs. 4I, 6I, 7I, 8I, 9I, 10I, 11I, 12I, 14I, 15I, 35, 36; Supp Video S9 [online only]) Type Material HOLOTYPE , pinned worker, RWANDA, Kayove, [-1.876, 29.357], 2100 m, collection code ANTC37492, 12.VIII.1973 ( P. Werner ) (BMNH: CASENT0790103). PARATYPES , two pinned workers with same data as holotype (BMNH: CASENT0790104; SAMC: CASENT0247366); and two workers from RWANDA, Kayove, [-1.876, 29.357], 2100 m, collection code ANTC42122, 23.IV.1973 ( P.Werner ) (CASC: CASENT0247367; MHNG: CASENT0247368). 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 (CASENT0790103) 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 9). Nontype Material TANZANIA: Mkomazi Game Reserve, Maji Kununua, −3.8833, 37.81667, 1600 m, montane forest, 7.XII.1995 ( H.G. Robertson ). Diagnosis The following character combination distinguishes D. gryphon from the remainder of the complex: mandible with square apical tooth and subapical denticle; subquadrate head with anterolateral corner of gena sharply defined, nearly denticulate; anterior clypeal margin with long erect setae; mesosomal outline weakly convex; propodeum without strong angles or denticles; mesotibia without apicoventral spur; AT4 about 1.1 times longer than AT3 (ASI 108– 113); erect pilosity abundant on mesosoma and abdominal terga.
