This species, described as Platydactylus africanus Walker, 1869 from “Pt Natal 55.96” and “Pt Natal 58/13” in South Africa and synonymised with Platydactylus fuliginosus Walker, 1869 from “Pt Natal 58/13” ( Gorochov, 2004 ), was included by Chopard (1968) in the genus Kilimagryllus . However, this species is very similar and closely related to B. madagascarica and undoubtedly belongs to the same genus. Here, B. africana is recorded from additional new localities in South Africa .
