Limnophora capensis Paterson, 1955: 142 .

Holotype male in NMSA. Paratype male seen in BMNH; in good condition.

Diagnosis. Presutural spots separated posteriorly or wholly fused, sometimes narrowly connected within the presutural band on a median line, but not extending on to postpronotal callosity (which differentiates this species from L. flavibasis Stein, 1906); postsutural dorsocentrals 4; mid femur with 2 posterior preapical setae; mid tibia with 2 posterior setae; costal spine not distinct; first abdominal segments yellow; sternite 5 with a dense patch of thick spines.

Notes. L. capensis, together with L. terrestris Paterson, 1955, keys out to L. translucida Stein, 1913, at couplet 25 of Emden’s (1951) key. Paterson (1955) gave a key to separate these three species. L. terrestris is herein proposed as a junior synonym of L. translucida (syn. nov.) (see note under L. translucida).
