A new species of Ateleute, A. valeriae sp. nov., is described from Kibale National Park, in Uganda. The new species differs from others of the genus in the Afrotropical region by its larger body size, ovipositor relatively long and straight, and presence of the distal abscissa of vein AA in the hind wing. The new species sheds light on the morphological variability and diversity of the genus Ateleute in the Afrotropical region.
一种新的无尾瘿蚊属物种，即瓦莱丽无尾瘿蚊（Ateleute valeriae sp. nov.），是在乌干达的基巴莱国家公园发现并被描述的。该新物种与非洲热带地区该属的其他物种不同，其体型更大，产卵器相对较长且笔直，后翅存在翅脉AA的远端横脉。这个新物种揭示了非洲热带地区无尾瘿蚊属的形态变异性和多样性。
