Material examined. South Africa: 1 male, “ Port Elizabeth 91-69” (ZIN); 1 female, “ 40 km N Richerds Ban ”, 20–31.I.2006 (ZIN); 3 males, “ Natal, Dukuduku For. [est] Res. [erve]”, II.1971, H. Brown, D. Wessels & E. Koster (SANC); 1 female, “ Natal, Cape Vidal, St. Lucia ”, 25.II.1971, H. Brown & E. Koster (SANC); 1 female, “OOS-Londen SE 3327BB”, 10.IV.1994, H. Van Vuuren (SANC).
Remarks. This species, described as Platydactylus africanus Walker, 1869 from “Pt Natal 55.96” and “Pt Natal 58/13” in South Africa and synonymised with Platydactylus fuliginosus Walker, 1869 from “Pt Natal 58/13” (Gorochov, 2004), was included by Chopard (1968) in the genus Kilimagryllus. However, this species is very similar and closely related to B. madagascarica and undoubtedly belongs to the same genus. Here, B. africana is recorded from additional new localities in South Africa.
