03C087BAFF849950FF24F89F04678649.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Blepharidina aliquantula sp. nov. shows major affinity with B. kasigauensis sp. nov. and B. regalini sp. nov. due to the similar shape of the aedeagus (Figs 38, 45, 54). However, B. aliquantula sp. nov. has clearly smaller size, brighter color on the dorsal integuments (Figs 1, 9, 18) and the aedeagus more distinctly bent dorsally at the apical third in lateral view (Fig. 38). The new species also differs from B. kasigauensis sp. nov. for the antero-lateral part of pronotum (Figs 26, 28), visible in dorsal view (not visible in B. kasigauensis because downward oriented), and from B. regalini sp. nov., for the different punctation on the antero-lateral surface of pronotum (Figs 26, 33).	en	Iannella, Paola D’Alessandro Mattia, Biondi, Maurizio (2019): Revision of the Afrotropical flea beetle subgenus Blepharidina s. str.

Lectotype ♂ (Biondi des. in Biondi et al. 2017): “ (Angola) Bimbi (8 ° 19 ′ 48 '' S, 15 ° 58 ′ 48 '' E), Oct. 1932 / Angola, Miss. se. Suisse, 1928 – 29 ” (NMPC). Taxonomic observations. Blepharidina bimbiensis can be attributed to the species group including B. carinata, B. guttulata, B. partita, B. rudeli, and, probably, B. sedecimguttata (Figs 2, 4, 6, 16, 19), identified by the following combination of characters of the external morphology, aedeagus and spermatheca: anterior margin of pronotum much wider medially than laterally (Fig. 20); elytral margin homogenous in thickness, rather thin, at most weakly enlarged in central third (Fig. 35); aedeagus (Figs 39, 41 – 42, 52) in ventral view stubby, with wide lateral longitudinal depressions, and with small lateral folds ventrally oriented on the apex; in lateral view, aedeagus about as thick basally than subapically, with apical part ventrally oriented; dorsal ligula formed by two simple lateral lobes and a complex medial lobe; spermatheca (Figs 56, 58, 63 – 64, 67) generally with globose basal part, and thin, hook-shaped distal part; ductus very thick in proximal part, generally not clearly distinct from spermathecal capsule. Color of the dorsal integuments in B. bimbiensis is like some specimens of B. guttulata, with small, pale, subrounded patches on light brown pronotum and reddish-brown elytra (Figs 2, 6), but its size is distinctly smaller. Aedeagus is easily recognizable by the singular apical part, subrectangular in ventral view (Fig. 39). No female specimens of B. bimbiensis are known.

03C087BAFF869951FF24FE630536860C.taxon	materials_examined	Type material examined. Lectotype ♀ (Biondi des. in Biondi et al. 2017): “ Tanganyika (Tanzania) T., Mshughaa, 30 ml. E of Singida (5 ° 03 ' S, 35 ° 01 ′ 48 '' E), xii. 1935 – i. 1936, E. Burtl ” (BMNH). Paralectotypes: same data as lectotype, 2 ♀ (BMNH). Additional material examined in Appendix 1. Taxonomic observations. Blepharidina burtli, especially in females, is similar to B. delineata (Fig. 5) in size, habitus and color pattern. However, the two species do not seem closely related because of the clear differences in the spermatheca (Figs 55, 57), having a more elongate distal part, and a thicker and shorter ductus in B. burtli. This species can be distinguished also by: the lateral margin of pronotum moderately sinuate (Fig. 27), with anterolateral part not visible in dorsal view (almost straight and entirely visible in B. delineata); pronotal surface with an incomplete medial stria of punctures touching both posterior and anterior margins (Fig. 27) (complete in B. delineata); elytral surface with smaller points and flat interstriae (Fig. 34) (with larger points and more carinate interstriae in B. delineata). Aedeagus (Fig. 40) in ventral view thick and slightly sinuate laterally, with subrounded apical part and small median acute apex; in lateral view, straight and tapered from basal part to subapical part. Based on the general shape of the aedeagus, B. burtli could be closely related to B. aliquantula sp. nov., B. kasigauensis sp. nov., and B. regalini sp. nov. (Figs 38, 45, 54), but the aedeagus of B. burtli is easily distinguishable for being slightly stubbier, apically more rounded, and with a differently shaped dorsal ligula.

Paralectotypes: same data as lectotype, 1 ♀ (BMNH). Additional material examined in Appendix 1. Taxonomic observations. Blepharidina carinata can be attributed to the species group including B. bimbiensis, B. guttulata, B. partita, B. rudeli, and, probably, B. sedecimguttata (Figs 2, 4, 6, 16, 19) (see the paragraph “ Taxonomic observations ” in B. bimbiensis). However, it can be easily identified by the: singular color pattern, with black elytral striae and yellowish interstriae (Fig. 4); distinctly carinate interstriae (Fig. 35). About the aedeagus, B. carinata is very similar to B. partita (Figs 41, 52), but it is easily distinguishable by the median lobe more evenly curved laterally in ventral view. The spermatheca is characteristic by the co-presence of a distinctly elongate, hook-shaped distal part and a moderately globose basal part (Figs 56, 58, 63 – 64, 67).

Blepharidina delineata, known from a single female (Fig. 5), is similar to females of B. burtli in size, general shape, and color pattern. However, differences in spermatheca (Figs 55, 57) do not allow to think about a real affinity between these two species. The spermatheca of B. delineata (Fig. 57) is easily recognizable by the elongate ductus and the very short and apically rounded distal part, distinctly bent from the piriform basal part. Other characters useful for distinguishing B. delineata are: the lateral margin of pronotum almost straight and entirely visible in dorsal view (moderately sinuate (Fig. 27), with antero-lateral part not visible in B. burtli); pronotal surface with a complete medial stria of punctures touching both posterior and anterior margins) (incomplete (Fig. 27) in B. burtli); elytral surface with larger points and more distinctly carinate interstriae (with smaller points and flatter interstriae (Fig. 34) in B. burtli).

Paralectotypes: same data as lectotype, 5 ♀ (BMNH), 1 ♀ (MNHN). Additional material examined in Appendix 1. Taxonomic observations. Blepharidina guttulata can be attributed to the species group including B. bimbiensis, B. carinata, B. partita, B. rudeli, and, probably, B. sedecimguttata (Figs 2, 4, 6, 16, 19) (see the paragraph “ Taxonomic observations ” in B. bimbiensis). Dorsal integuments in B. guttulata are slightly variable in color, but always with yellow, rather small patches on darker pronotum and elytra, often similar to B. bimbiensis (Figs 2, 6). However, B. guttulata is immediately distinguishable from B. bimbiensis by its larger size. The aedeagus of B. guttulata is easily distinguishable because more slender in ventral view, with narrower apical part, and subtriangular apex (Figs 39, 41 – 42, 52). Compared with the other species of the group, spermatheca shows a slightly shorter distal part (Figs 56, 58, 63 – 64, 67). Males and females are apparently similar each other, and little variable in size, with females showing slightly shorter antennae (see Morphometry in Appendix 2).	en	Iannella, Paola D’Alessandro Mattia, Biondi, Maurizio (2019): Revision of the Afrotropical flea beetle subgenus Blepharidina s. str.

Blepharidina intermedia shows clear affinities with B. laesa and B. picta, with which it shares the following characters: lateral margins of pronotum strongly sinuate, with anterior angles obliquely truncate and pointed (Fig. 32); elytral margin very thin from base up to basal fifth, and distinctly enlarged around basal fifth of elytra (Fig. 37); aedeagus (Figs 44, 48, 53) with ventral sulcus slightly longer than half aedeagal length, closed and shortly divided basally. However, B. intermedia is easily distinguishable by the different elytral color pattern, generally with dark striae, and small, irregular brown patches (evident yellow patches in B. laesa and B. picta) (Figs 8, 12, 17). Aedeagus (Fig. 44) is also distinguishable by the subapical part gradually but distinctly narrower in ventral view, and by the apical part distinctly bent dorsally in lateral view. Spermatheca (Fig. 59) shows piriform basal part, apical part almost 90 ° bent respect to the basal part, and a moderately elongate ductus. Both males and females are quite variable in size and morphometric ratios (see Appendix 2).	en	Iannella, Paola D’Alessandro Mattia, Biondi, Maurizio (2019): Revision of the Afrotropical flea beetle subgenus Blepharidina s. str.

Based on the similar shape of the aedeagus (Figs 38, 45, 54), Blepharidina kasigauensis sp. nov. seems to be closely related to B. aliquantula sp. nov. and B. regalini sp. nov. However, the new species is mainly distinguishable by the following characters: aedeagus straighter and less sinuate dorsally in lateral view (Fig. 45); antero-lateral part of pronotum more ventrally oriented, with anterior angles not visible in dorsal view (Fig. 28) (visible in both B. aliquantula sp. nov. and B. regalini sp. nov. (Figs 26, 33); elytral interstriae slightly carinate (mostly flat in both B. aliquantula sp. nov. and B. regalini sp. nov.). In addition, the pronotal punctuation of B. kasigauensis is more similar to B. aliquantula sp. nov. than B. regalini sp. nov.

Additional material examined in Appendix 1. Taxonomic observations. Blepharidina ornaticollis shows clear affinities with B. macarthuri. They share general shape, sculpture and size (Figs 13, 15), with anterior margin of pronotum slightly thicker medially than laterally (Figs 23, 25), and anterior angles of pronotum sharply pointed and laterally oriented (Fig. 31). Aedeagus is also very similar in the two species (Figs 49, 51), with the densely carinate longitudinally dorsal surface (Figs 49, 51). However, B. ornaticollis is distinguishable by the anterior margin of pronotum more distinctly wider medially than laterally (Figs 23, 25), the more thickset aedeagus (Figs 49, 51), and the spermatheca with piriform, elongate basal part (thick and subcylindrical in B. macarthuri) (Figs 60, 62). Females similar to males in morphometry (see Appendix 2).	en	Iannella, Paola D’Alessandro Mattia, Biondi, Maurizio (2019): Revision of the Afrotropical flea beetle subgenus Blepharidina s. str.

Taxonomic observations. Blepharidina partita can be attributed to the species group including B. bimbiensis, B. carinata, B. guttulata, B. rudeli and, probably, B. sedecimguttata (Figs 2, 4, 6, 16, 19) (see the paragraph “ Taxonomic observations ” in B. bimbiensis). However, B. partita is recognizable by the: elytra black, with numerous subrounded and more or less fused yellow patches; pronotum reddish-brown or pale brown, with irregular yellow patches; third and ninth elytral interstriae entirely yellow (Fig. 16). Aedeagus is similar to B. carinata (Figs 41, 52), but it is distinguishable because of the apex more triangular in ventral view. Basal part of spermatheca is comparatively shorter about as long as the proximal part of the ductus (Figs 56, 58, 63 – 64, 67). Both males and females are moderately variable in size, but with constant morphometric ratios (see Appendix 2). Females generally show more transverse pronotum, higher LE / LP ratio, and slightly shorter antennae.	en	Iannella, Paola D’Alessandro Mattia, Biondi, Maurizio (2019): Revision of the Afrotropical flea beetle subgenus Blepharidina s. str.

However, B. picta is distinguishable from B. laesa by some external characters (Figs 12, 17): size clearly larger (LB ± 8.38 mm; LB = 6.88 mm in B. laesa); elytral interstriae flat (weakly but distinctly carinate B. laesa); elytral yellow patches more rounded (more irregularly shaped in B. laesa); elytral punctures pale (brownish in B. laesa), clypeus and labrum yellow (both reddish in B. laesa). About the median lobe of aedeagus, B. picta shows a more rounded apical part and slightly longer basal part (more clearly trapezoidal apical part and straight and slightly shorter basal part in B. laesa) (Figs 48, 53). Spermatheca (Fig. 65) with piriform and very sclerotized basal part; ductus thick, with ventrally oriented proximal part.

However, B. regalini can be easily distinguished for the following characters: aedeagus clearly different in size, lateral view and shape of the dorsal ligula (Figs 46, 54); slender antennomeres and more distinctly carinate elytral interstriae (Figs 29, 33). Aedeagus of B. regalini sp. nov. is also similar to B. aliquantula sp. nov. and B. kasigauensis sp. nov., but it is distinguishable because more bent dorsally in lateral view (Figs 38, 45, 54). Based on the external characters, B. regalini sp. nov. is also recognizable by: lateral margin of pronotum moderately sinuate (more distinctly sinuate in the other two species), with anterior angles visible in dorsal view (Figs 26, 28, 33); interocular space about as wide as the transverse ocular width (wider in the other two species); elytral color pattern without defined patches (with evident patches in the other two species) (Figs 1, 9, 18).	en	Iannella, Paola D’Alessandro Mattia, Biondi, Maurizio (2019): Revision of the Afrotropical flea beetle subgenus Blepharidina s. str.

Body elliptical-elongate, rather convex (Fig. 18); LB = 6.25 mm; maximum pronotal width (WP = 2.50 mm) in basal third; maximum elytral width (WE = 3.34 mm) in middle. Head brown, with paler clypeus and labrum; antennae yellow; pronotum yellow, with brown patches on groups and lines of punctures; elytra yellow, with brown striae and some small, brown patches on interstriae; legs brownish, with yellowish distal part of tibiae, and tarsi. Head distinctly pubescent, roughly punctate; frontal grooves short, moderately impressed; frontal tubercles poorly delimited, flat; interantennal space little wider than length of first antennomere; interocular space about as wide as transverse ocular width; antennae about as long as half body length (LAN = 3.06 mm; LAN / LB = 0.49); LA: 100: 35: 65: 65: 85: 71: 71: 65: 59: 53: 71. Pronotum subrectangular, clearly transverse (LP = 1.31 mm; WP / LP = 1.90), with moderately sinuate lateral margin (Fig. 33); anterior margin slightly thicker than basal margin, and moderately sinuate laterally; anterior angles moderately prominent laterally; pronotal surface with lines and groups of differently sized punctures; pronotal base with two distinctly impressed lateral and longitudinal striae. Scutellum light brown, subrounded, moderately elongate. Elytra moderately elongate (LE = 4.69 mm; WE / LE = 0.71; LE / LP = 3.57), subparallel laterally, jointly rounded and entirely covering pygidium posteriorly; punctation distinctly impressed, arranged in 9 (+ 1 scutellar) regular rows; interstriae flat, weakly carinate only laterally and posteriorly. First pro- and mesotarsomeres distinctly dilated; tarsal claws bifid. Ventral parts brown; last abdominal ventrite without distinctive preapical impressions. Aedeagus (LAED = 2.59 mm; LE / LAED = 1.81) (Fig. 54) slightly sinuate laterally in ventral view, with subtriangular apical part and small median tooth; ventral sulcus wide, open towards basal part; in lateral view, aedeagus straight but gradually and strongly narrowed in subapical part, because of sinuate dorsal side; dorsal ligula short, connected to approximately the apical fourth. Variation. Paratypes rather similar in shape, size and sculpture to the holotype; some specimens with slightly darker integument. Female distinguishable by the first pro- and mesotarsomeres not dilated, and the shorter antennae (see Morphometry in Appendix 2).

Blepharidina rudeli can be attributed to the species group including B. bimbiensis, B. carinata, B. guttulata, B. partita and, probably, B. sedecimguttata (Figs 2, 4, 6, 16, 19) (see “ Taxonomic observations ” in B. bimbiensis). However, B. rudeli is easily recognizable by the partially irregular elytral punctuation (Fig. 19), and the reddish-brown dorsal integuments with large and roundish yellow patches. These characters are likely shared, based on the original description of the latter species by Weise (2012), with B. sedecimguttata. However, B. rudeli seems distinguishable for the: number of large yellow patches on each elytron (nine instead of eight in B. sedecimguttata); deeper and coarser elytral punctation; larger yellow patches on pronotum; more elongate pronotal longitudinal furrows. Compared to B. carinata, B. guttulata and B. partita, the spermatheca in B. rudeli has more slender and sclerotized basal part and more sclerotized ductus (Figs 56, 58, 63, 67).

03C087BAFF919947FF24F9CA041B83BC.taxon	description	Taxonomic observations. Blepharida sedecimguttata was described by Weise (1912) from Gawiro in Uhehe (Tanzania, Gairo 6 ° 08 ′ 06 '' S, 36 ° 51 ′ 44 '' E). Neither the type nor other specimens attributed to this species were found in any examined collections. However, the description by Weise (1912) leaves no doubt about its attribution to the genus Blepharidina, as well as its similarity with B. rudeli. B. sedecimguttata can be distinguished from B. rudeli by the: eight large yellow patches on each elytron, as well as a small yellow patch in the shoulder angle before the humeral callus, with only one patch in front of the apex (nine large yellow patches, with two patches in front of the apex in B. rudeli); more finely impressed elytral punctation; more sparsely stained pronotum, with shorter longitudinal furrows.	en	Iannella, Paola D’Alessandro Mattia, Biondi, Maurizio (2019): Revision of the Afrotropical flea beetle subgenus Blepharidina s. str.
