Discothyrea kalypso Hita Garcia & Lieberman sp. n. (Figs. 2B, 4K, 6K, 7K, 8K, 9K, 10K, 11K, 12K, 14K, 39, 40; Supp Video S11 [online only]) Type Material HOLOTYPE , pinned worker, TANZANIA, Pwani, Mafia, Mafia Island, Mlola Forest, −7.89576, 39.82842, 20 m, primary forest, leaf litter, 9.–13.III.2008 ( P. Hawkes, Y. Mlacha & F. Ninga ) (SAMC: CASENT0235468). 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 (CASENT0235468) 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 11). Diagnosis The following character combination distinguishes D. kalypso from the remainder of the complex: eyes absent; frontal lamella disciform in profile, without conspicuous, round basal fenestra; mesosoma low, gracile (LMI 42; DMI2 81), not dorsally convex in profile; propodeum denticulate, denticles short and somewhat blunt; mesotibia without distinct ventral spur; abdominal sternite 3 rectangular in profile, ventral margin straight; erect pilosity absent from mesosoma and abdominal terga.

Worker Description Head somewhat elongate (CI 78), posterior head margin straight to weakly concave; posterodorsal corners of head rounded; in frontal view, sides of head gently convex; anterolateral corners of gena relatively well-defined; eyes absent; frontal lamella low and disciform in profile, without ...
