ROBERTO CALDARA
Abstract - Seven new species of Sibinia from southern Africa are described: Sibinia youngai, S. agilis, S. rubella, S. tenuilineata, S. oberprieleri, S. singularis, S. polysignata. All of them were collected in the Cape Province of the Republic of South Africa, and one (S. tenuilineata) also in Namibia. Moreover, remarks on the taxonomy of four species (S. pretiosa Caldara, S. clarki Caldara, S. spiculirostris Caldara and S. kalaharica Caldara), previously described from only one sex, are given on the basis of additional specimens. Finally, S. spiculirostris Caldara and S. modesta Desbrochers are reported from southern Africa for the first time.
