Genus Hangklipia Linnavuori View in CoL

(Pl. 2A, 16E–F)

Hangklipia Linnavuori, 1972: 235 View in CoL .

Type species. Camptelasmus signatus Linnavuori 1961: 457 , by original designation.

Synonymy. None.

Description. Linnavuori (1972): “Resembling Petalocephala but smaller, length <10 mm. Elytra (fig. 21 e) with regular venation, only apical area of corium with a few extra cross veins, subapical area with two long parallel-sided cells. Male genitalia as in Thlasia .”

Species. [2]: signata (Linnavuori) ; gibber (Naudé) .

Range. South Africa (God’s Window; Kougaberg; Kraaifontein; Strand; West Cape Province).

Host plants. Cliffortia serpyllifolia (Rosacea) ; Passerina montana (Thymelaceae) .

Material examined. H. gibber : 1 male, 1 female, South Africa, SANC, JRJ _ Led 1_058–059; H. signata : 2 males, South Africa, SANC, Led 1_052, 057, 1 (abdomen missing), South Africa, SANC, JRJ _ Led 1_53 , 1 male, South Africa, MZLU, JRJ _ Led 1_056 .

Remarks. This genus is very similar to Titiella but lacks the expanded and convex face. Its concave face and well-defined (although small) frontoclypeus is much more like that of more derived ledrines. It shares some morphological similarities with Dusuna , Parapetalocephala , and Titiella . The aedeagus of the males (Pl. 16E–F) is roughly somewhat similar in shape to those in Thlasia (Pl. 16K), as stated by Linnavuori, to which it seems to be only distantly related within Ledrini .
