Recent collections from the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa yielded an undescribed species of the freshwater diaptomid copepod genus Lovenula. It is probably the largest paradiaptomine known and closely resembles L. falcifera (Lovén, 1845). This species, L. raynerae n. sp., differs in several characters, including the shape of the female genital operculum, but particularly in details of the male and female leg 5: on the female the size of the endopod, a distinctive protuberance on the first exopodal segment; on male leg 5, the features of the seta adjacent to the claw of the right leg, a subdistal endopodal spine of the same ramus and details of the claw, with a middle gap on the inner margin. As with L. falcifera, the new species was collected from an ephemeral habitat. A record of L. falcifera from Ethiopia probably represents an undescribed species. A key to the species of the genus is provided.

A New Species

We describe a new species of AfrotropicalBothroponerafrom Whittlesea City, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. This species is unique among the AfricanBothroponeraas it is the only species with a horizontal propodeal spiracle. It is also the largest species of AfricanBothroponera(total length 14.80–15.65). The clypeus lacks a medial longitudinal carina, the head is subquadrate, the sculpture is mostly foveolate, and the second gastral segment nearly lacks sculpturing. We compare the new species to the similarB. cavernosaandB. cavernosavar.montivaga. We also compare the new species to all of the other 10 taxa that belong to thecavernosacomplex. A key to thecavernosacomplex species of the AfrotropicalBothroponerais provided along with diagnosis, comparison, distribution, habitat, biology, and etymology for the new species.

A New Species

A new species is described in African Vincetoxicum (incl. Tylophora), and the present status of Vincetoxicum in South Africa is recapitulated. The new species, here described as Vincetoxicum stylesii, is a twining forest dweller known so far only from the Dwesa-Cwebe Nature Reserve in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Due to its isolated phylogenetic position at the very base of Vincetoxicum, and to its rarity, it is to be regarded as a relict species. With the new species, the genus includes ten species in South Africa when adopting the here also proposed new synonymy for Vincetoxicum simianum (in V. cordatum) and V. badium var. latifolium (in V. umbelliferum); six of the species are endemic.

A New Species

Our fieldwork in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa revealed an undescribed species of Austronea which was named by Schonland as “Urginea Patersoniae Schonl. Ms.”, but never validly published. We here describe Austronea patersoniae to include plants showing bulbs with loose scales; 5–9 narrowly linear erect leaves with papillate margins; elongate peduncle; lowermost bracts with a broad, flat, papery spur and reddish flowers with papillate filaments. We provide a complete morphological description as well as data on ecology and distribution.

A New Species

As part of an ongoing study towards a taxonomic revision of the genus Massonia Houtt., a new species, Massonia amoena Mart.-Azorín, M.Pinter & Wetschnig, is here described from the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This new species is characterized by the leaves bearing heterogeneous circular to elongate pustules and the strongly reflexed perigone segments at anthesis. It is at first sight related to Massonia jasminiflora Burch. ex Baker, M. wittebergensis U.Müll.-Doblies & D.Müll.-Doblies and M. saniensis Wetschnig, Mart.-Azorín & M.Pinter, but differs in vegetative and floral characters, as well as in its allopatric distribution. A complete morphological description of the new species and data on biology, habitat, and distribution are presented.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Geminoppia (Oribatida, Oppiidae) is described from moss of Hogsback State Forest, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Geminoppia amatholensis sp. n. differs from its related species Geminoppia maior comb. n. by the absence of discidium and the presence of very long notogastral seta h1. Summarized generic traits, an identification key, distribution and habitats of all known species of Geminoppia are presented.
