Description

Genus Strandietta Obenberger, 1931

Strandietta Obenberger, 1931a: 195; Bellamy, 1991: 6; 2003: 79.

Type species: Strandietta schoutedeni Obenberger, 1931 (fixed by subsequent designation: Bellamy 1986b:239).

Comments. Within this genus, there are five diminutive species belonging to two species-groups which are distinct by configuration of the depression on the frontovertex, shape of the pronotum and surface sculpture of the elytra. With a new species from southern Africa described below, it seems appropriate to present a key to distinguish these taxa.
