Known distribution of Monoleptoides didyma (Ger- staecker, 1871). most species in southern Africa, but this pattern is also rarely recorded in M ditplicata (Fig. Id, e) and M. thom- soui (Fig. 7e). The elytra are on average broad (width of both elytra to length of elytron: ; M duplicata same range, but M. thomsoni on average narrower: ). The latter species also has a nairower prono- tum (pronotal length to maximum width: ; M. centromaculata: ). Antennae very slender inM. centromaculata. However, only the characteristic broad flat median lobe (Fig. 8g-i), most similar to the much smaller M. trivialis (Fig. 3g-i), allows clear differentia- tion from M. duplicata (Fig. 2i-n) and M. thomsoni (Fig. 7i-n), particularly in entirely yellow specimens. Distribution. Restricted to southern Africa from Katan- ga, Zambia and southern Tanzania towards the Eastern Cape Province (Fig. 17). Occuning froin sea level up to montane areas in south-eastern South Africa.
