Rhodesiana maculata Dirsh. 1959:27 ; Dirsh. 1965: 272; Johnston, 1968:200.

Type locality. Africa, South Tropical Africa , Zimbabwe, Beit Bridge. No type examined .

Material. SOUTH AFRICA: Limpopo: Langjan (S22.8421, E29.2430) 27.ii.1988 coll. K. Kappmeier— 1♂ ( SANC) GoogleMaps .

Distribution. This is the first record of the genus in South Africa.

Remarks. This genus was erected by Dirsh (1959), based on its transverse depression on pronotum. It is similar to Anabibia Dirsh 1956 but strongly differs in the shape of male cercus, posterior margin of pronotum (in Anabibia is rounded), shape of supra-anal plate (in Anabibia is tuberculate) and also by the shape of epiphallus. The shape of its male cercus is similar to that of Euryphymus Stål 1873 which is also short. Revision is not necessary for this genus.
