Kelyflata capensis sp. nov

(Figs 1–22, 29)

Etymology. The specific epithet capensis refers to the locus typicus of the type species—Cape Sainte Marie, which is the southernmost point of Madagascar.

Diagnosis. The species differs from Kelyflata ilakakae by the following characters of male terminalia: anal tube elongate end ensiform (anal tube club-like in K. ilakakae); genital style triangular (genital style ovoid in K. ilakakae); periandrium elongate, tapering apicad (periandrium stout, with rounded apex in K. ilakakae); dorsal part of periandrium with median lobe short, club-like (dorsal part of periandrium with median lobe long and narrow in K. ilakakae); aedeagus with 1short process placed medially (aedeagus with 2 long processes placed in apical part in K. ilakakae)

Description. Measurements. Total length— 4.75 mm. Vertex: ratio A/B = 21.00. Frons: ratio C/E = 1.10; D/E = 1.25. Pronotum: ratio F/B = 10.00. Mesonotum: ratio G/F = 3.80; G/B+F = 3.45; G/H = 0.90. Tegmina: I/J = 4.25; I/K = 2.30.

MALE TERMINALIA. Anal tube, in dorsal view, elongate end ensiform (Fig. 18). Pygofer, in lateral view, with sharp antero-ventral angle; anterior margin deeply concave, dorsal margin convex, postero-dorsal angle widely rounded, posterior margin convex. Genital style triangular (Fig. 17). Phallic complex. Periandrium elongate, tapering apicad (Fig. 19). Dorsal part of periandrium, in lateral view, distinctly shorter than ventral part, median lobe short, club-like. Ventral part of periandrium, in dorsal view, distinctly tapering apicad (Fig. 19). Aedeagus, in lateral view, with 1short process placed medially (Fig. 20).

FEMALE TERMINALIA. Female unknown.

COLORATION. Ochreous, mottled, with scattered dark brown markings on tegmen, mesonotum and scutellum; tubercles orange.
