Abstract
The genus Aferos Kazantsev is redescribed and six new species, A. endroedyi sp. n., A. natalensis
sp. n., A. rubellus sp. n., A. silvestris sp. n., A. transvaalensis sp. n. and A. youngai sp. n. are
described from South Africa. A key to all 18 known species of Aferos is provided. Aferotini
Kazantsev, 2004, syn. n. is synonymized with Slipinskiini Bocñk et Bocñkovñ, 1992. Staepteron
cyanoxanthum (Bourgeois) is illustrated, and the genus Staepteron Kazantsev is tentatively placed
in Flagraxina (Dictyopterini, Erotinae).
