Abstract
The new subtribus Reicheiina subtrib. nov. [Scaritinae: Clivinini]is considered an isolated monophyletic group of Carabidae, containing very small endogean, microphtalmous or often anophtalmous species; Subtribus novae genus typicus: Reicheia Saulcy 1862. Its actual distribution is evidently relictuous, discontinuous; it includes some mediterranean areas and high afrotropical mountains. In addition to the hitherto known species from South Africa, Antireicheia promontorii (Péringuey 1896), 6 new species are described from this area: A. tsitsikamae n. sp., A. lindrothi n. sp., A. humicola n. sp., A. caledonica n. sp., A. leleupiana n. sp., A. consocia n. sp. A key to the South African species is given.
