Centrorhynchus sarehae n. sp. is described from the lizard buzzard Kaupifalco monogrammicus (Temminik) in Louis Trichardt City, Limpopo Province, South Africa. The new species can be distinguished from all other species of Centrorhynchus Lühe, 1911 except C. gendrei (Golvan, 1957) and C. mariauxi Smales, 2011 in having a dilated region in the posterior trunk of the female. Centrorhynchus sarehae differs from both these species in the characters of the proboscis armature, particularly the number of hooks per row and the lengths of the longest hooks. This is the first record of a fully identified species of Centrorhynchus in South Africa.
新物种萨雷哈中央吻虫(Centrorhynchus sarehae n. sp.)是在南非林波波省路易斯·特里查德市的短趾雕(Kaupifalco monogrammicus (Temminik))体内发现并描述的。除了1957年发现的让氏中央吻虫(C. gendrei (Golvan))和2011年发现的马氏中央吻虫(C. mariauxi Smales)外,该新物种与1911年发现的吕厄中央吻虫属(Centrorhynchus Lühe)的所有其他物种不同,其雌性躯干后部有一个扩张区域。萨雷哈中央吻虫在吻部结构特征上与这两个物种都不同,特别是每行的钩数和最长钩的长度。这是南非首次记录到完全确定的中央吻虫属物种。
