Abstract

The genus Bana Londt, 1992 is revised. This Afrotropical genus, endemic to southern Africa, has been monotypic until now, the only known species being B. apicida Londt, 1992 from Namibia. A second species, B. madiba sp. n., is here described from South Africa thus significantly extending the known generic distribution. A key for the separation of the species is provided while the taxonomy, distribution and biology for the group is discussed.
