- Schwarzia elizabethae Bossert, sp. n., a previously unknown species of the enigmatic cleptoparasitic genus Schwarzia Eardley, 2009 is described. Both sexes are illustrated and compared to the type species of the genus, Schwarzia emmae Eardley, 2009. The male habitus of S. emmae is illustrated and potential hosts of Schwarzia are discussed. Unusual morphological features of Schwarzia are examined in light of the presumably close phylogenetic relationship to other Biastini. The new species represents the second species of Biastini outside the Holarctic region.
