Abstract
The monotypic genus Afridiolorryia Kazmierski was collected from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Two new species belonging to this genus are described here both collected from Psychotria capensis (Eckl.) Vatke (Rubiaceae), in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. A key to all the species of the genus as well as the Tydeidae species found during this survey is given.
