A new species of Lipoptena Nitzsch, 1818 was found on springbok Antidorcas marsupialis Zimmerman, 1780 in the Cape Province and the Orange Free State, South Africa. The flies, for which the name Lipoptena annalizeae is proposed, can be differentiated from the closely related Lipoptena sepiacea Speiser, 1905 on size, palps, chaetotaxy, pulvilli, and the shape of the posterior genital plates of the males. The morphology of the puparium of the new species is also described and compared with that of the puparia of Lipoptena paradoxa Newstead, 1907 and Lipoptena binocula (Speiser, 1908). A revised key to the southern African species and a summary of host records and distributional information is also presented.
1818年，尼茨施（Nitzsch）所描述的扁虱属（Lipoptena）的一个新物种在南非开普省和奥兰治自由邦的跳羚（Antidorcas marsupialis Zimmerman，1780）身上被发现。文中提议将该蝇类命名为Lipoptena annalizeae，它在大小、触须、毛序、爪垫以及雄性后生殖板的形状等方面，可与亲缘关系相近的1905年斯派泽（Speiser）所描述的Lipoptena sepiacea区分开来。本文还描述了该新物种蛹的形态，并将其与1907年纽斯特德（Newstead）所描述的Lipoptena paradoxa以及1908年斯派泽（Speiser）所描述的Lipoptena binocula的蛹进行了比较。文中还给出了一份修订后的南部非洲物种检索表，以及寄主记录和分布信息的总结。
