Abstract:
Two new species and two new genera ( Kuboesphasma , Minutophasma ) of Mantophasmatodea that occur in the Richtersveld region of South Africa are described. Kuboesphasmacompactum gen. n., sp. n. was found only in a small area near the village of Kuboes, while Minutophasmarichtersveldense gen. n., sp. n. apparently inhabits a larger area in the Richtersveld. With these two new species, a total of four different mantophasmatodeans are known to live in this area. This is a remarkable exception to the remaining representatives of this order, where even a common occurrence of only two species is rare. We discuss this sympatry in the context of the phylogeny of the group. Additionally, we provide a map of the known distributions and a table with the most important taxonomic features of the mantophasmatodeans in the Richtersveld.
