Abstract

A new diving beetle, Copelatus mkambati sp. nov., is described from the Mkambati Nature Reserve in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The new species is compared with other Afrotropical taxa with two elytral striae and no submarginal stria (the macellus species group of Copelatus Erichson, 1832). A combination of small eyes, rather weak pigmentation, flattened, subparallel habitus, relatively large head and collecting circumstances all suggest that the new species may be semisubterranean in lifestyle.

南非东开普省野生海岸一新种小眼桡翅目(鞘翅目:蝶蛾科)

一种新的潜水甲虫，Copelatus mkambati sp. nov.，在南非东开普省的mkambat自然保护区被描述。将该新种与其他有两个鞘翅纹而无边缘下纹的非洲热带分类群(Copelatus Erichson, 1832)进行了比较。小眼睛、相当弱的色素沉着、扁平、半平行的习性、相对较大的头部和收集环境都表明，这个新物种的生活方式可能是半地下的。
