Abstract
The new Afrotropical nemognathine genus Zoltanzonitis is described. Species herein assigned have until now been placed in the Palaeotropical genus Zonitoschema based on their elongate, filiformantennae and greatly enlarged eyes, but are distinguished by the distinctly shorter antennomere II (0.5 or less the length of III), the absence of sclerotised rings in the male ejaculatory ductus and the emarginate ventrite V in males. Thenewgenus includes five sub-Saharan species belonging to two distinct phenetic groups. New combinations for all species are proposed as well as the following new synonymies: alluaudi, burgeoni elongaticeps var. surcoufi and posticalis = natala; elongaticeps and jansei = testaceiventris.
