The monotypic South African alderfly genus Leptosialis Esben-Petersen, 1920 is reviewed and Leptosialis africana Esben-Petersen, 1920 is redescribed. In the process a new species of alderfly Leptosialis necopinatasp. n. from the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa is recognised and described. Within Sialidae the new species most closely resembles Leptosialis africana. A key to the two species of Leptosialis using both adult and larval characters is provided.
对单型的南非泥蛉属Leptosialis Esben - Petersen（1920年）进行了综述，并重新描述了1920年的非洲泥蛉Leptosialis africana Esben - Petersen。在此过程中，识别并描述了来自南非东开普省和夸祖鲁 - 纳塔尔省的一种新泥蛉——Leptosialis necopinatasp. n.。在泥蛉科中，新物种与非洲泥蛉最为相似。提供了一个利用成虫和幼虫特征区分这两种Leptosialis的检索表。
