Abstract
The monotypic South African alderfly genus Leptosialis Esben-Petersen, 1920 is reviewed and Leptosialis
africana Esben-Petersen, 1920 is redescribed. In the process a new species of alderfly Leptosialis necopinata
sp. n. from the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa is recognised and described.
Within Sialidae the new species most closely resembles L. africana. A key to the two species of Leptosialis
using both adult and larval characters is provided.
