Abstract
The South African species Cloeodes inzingae (Crass) is redescribed as adults and larvae based on newly found material. This species is most closely related to far eastern Palaearctic (China) and Oriental (Sri L anka) species rather than Neotropical species. The presence of Cloeode s in the Subsaharan region of Africa supports the opinion that it is b asically a pantropical genus. Cloeodes inzingae possesses a median tub ercle between the forceps bases, a character not known in any other Cl oeodes.
