Note
The species epithet refers to the Dr H.C. Blöte (RMNH) and is emended following the article 32.5.2.1 of ICZN (1999).

Material examined
Holotype
MADAGASCAR: ♀ (examined on photographs), [Madagascar, coll. Lambert.] [environs de Tananarive] [Type] [ Belbina blotei Lall., V. Lallemand det., 195] [ RMNH.INS.780532], Tananarive (Antananarivo), 18°55’ S, 47°31’ E ( RMNH). – Note: “Lambert” = Lamberton. GoogleMaps
Paratypes
MADAGASCAR: 1 ♀ (examined on photographs), [Madagascar, rec. Lamberton] [environs de Tananarive] [ Belbina blotei Lallemand, V. Lallemand det., 195] [Paratype] [ RMNH.INS.780531] ( RMNH); 1 ♂, 1 ♀, [environs de Tananarive] ( FSAG). Note: Lallemand (1959) stated that all types are deposited in RMNH but he actually retained 2 paratypes in his collection (now in FSAG).
Additional material
MADAGASCAR: 1 ♂, Mahajanga Prov., Forêt de Tsimembo, 8.7 km 336° NNW of Soatana, 19°1’17” S, 44°26’26” E, 20 m, 21–25 Nov. 2001, at light in tropical dry forest, Fisher, Griswold et al. ( CAS); 2 ♀♀, near Tananarive, Lamberton ( RBINS); 2 ♀♀, Morondava à Mahabo, Last 1854-91, 20°20’ S, 44°28’30” E ( MNHN); 1 ♂, Madagascar ( NMPC); 1 ♂, no data ( NCSU).
1 ♀, erroneously labelled Soekaboemi, Java ( INHS).
Male genitalia
Dark red ( Figs 15–16 View Figs 13–18 ); pygofer higher than long and with posterior margin concave in middle in lateral view ( Fig. 15 View Figs 13–18 ); anal tube slightly elongate, 1.16 times longer than broad at apex and with lateral margins bisinuate in dorsal view ( Fig. 16 View Figs 13–18 ); margin of anal opening pointed posteriorly ( Fig. 15 View Figs 13–18 ) and hiding lateral margin apically in dorsal view ( Fig. 16 View Figs 13–18 ); gonostyli elongate, 1.18 times longer than high (dorsal process included), strongly surpassing apex of anal tube and acutely rounded at apex in lateral view ( Fig. 15 View Figs 13–18 ); ventral margin straight on basal 1/5, then strongly excavate ( Fig. 15 View Figs 13–18 ); dorsal margin with basal strong digitiform process projecting laterodorsally, strong hook laterally at middle of process projecting posteroventrally and posterior margin of process excavate between apex and hook ( Fig. 15 View Figs 13–18 ); apex of digitiform process rounded and broad in dorsal view ( Fig. 16 View Figs 13–18 ).
Remarks
Belbina bloetei is a member of the falleni + group, showing strong basodorsal digitiform process on gonostyli. It can be separated (1) from B. falleni , B. laetitiae sp. nov., B. lambertoni and B. pionneaui by the more strongly concave ventral margin of the gonostyli in lateral view; (2) from B. falleni by the less excavate dorsal margin of the gonostyli in dorsal view; (3) from B. laetitiae sp. nov. and B. lambertoni by the more acute apex of the gonostyli in lateral view; (4) from B. pionneaui by the more rounded apex of the basodorsal digitiform process of the gonostyli.
