ABSTRACT
Since the original description of Incertosulcus Móczár, 1970 no species have been added to the genus, because of its unclarified taxonomic diagnostic characters. Herein we provide an emended diagnosis for this genus, describe and illustrate five new species, Incertosulcus pinotage sp. nov., I. pinotnoir sp. nov., I sauvignonblanc sp. nov., I. semillon sp. nov., and I. shiraz sp. nov., from Africa; and record for the first time a brachypterous form for the genus. We also transfer Incertosulcus ceylonicus (Móczár, 1979) to Heterocoelia Dahlbom, 1854. Additionally, we provide the first key for female and male species and a discussion about the main diagnostic characteristics of Incertosulcus Mórczár, 1970.
