The species closely related to Euphorbia schinzii in subg. Euphorbia are reviewed for southern Africa. Two new species, E. pisima and E. steelpoortensis are described that are closely related to E. lydenburgensis. Euphorbia complexa is reduced to synonymy under E. schinzii. One new subspecies, E. schinzii subsp. schinzioides, is described for E. schinzii, while E. limpopoana is reduced once again to subspecific level, this time under E. schinzii as E. schinzii subsp. bechuanica. Euphorbia schinzii then has three subspecies. The concept of E. clivicola is extended to include collections from a much wider area than before. A new subspecies, E. clivicola subsp. calcritica, is described for E. clivicola. Euphorbia subsalsa subsp. fluvialis is more closely related to E. otjipembana than to E. subsalsa and consequently is changed to E. otjipembana subsp. fluvialis.

This paper deals with the systematics of all known Australian Mecoptera. Two new species are described: Austrobittocw anomalus (Austrobittacus is a new genus) and Harpobittacus phaeoscius; and three new subspecies: Harpobittacus australis rubripes, H. tillyardi albatus, and H. t. rubricatus.

Introduction: The knowledge of polychaetes in the subtropical region of Africa benefited from the activity of J. Day. However, 50 years after the publication of his Monograph of the Polychaeta of southern Africa, it is necessary to reconsider the identity of the Cirratulidae due to changes in the diagnostic characters and new approaches to the taxonomy of the group to corroborate the status of cosmopolitan species in this region. Objective: We hypothesize that biodiversity of multitentacular Cirratulidae polychaetes has been significantly underestimated in southern Africa. Methods: The present work analyzes material deposited in the Iziko museum, as well as recently collected specimens, using scanning electron microscope to identify them. Results: The material corresponds to two new species belonging to the genus Protocirrineris. Protocirrineris strandloperarum sp. nov. is characterized by having the tentacular filaments between the chaetigers 5 to 10-12 and the first pair of branchiae from chaetiger 7, and P. magalhaesi sp. nov. is characterized by having tentacular filaments between chaetigers 4-8 and the first pair of branchiae from chaetigers 2 or 3. Descriptions of these species, with light and scanning electron microscope images, are given. Schematic drawings of the two new species are shown comparatively with diagnostic characters. Conclusions: The use of new techniques enables discovery of new taxonomic characters and two new species of the genus. The diversity of Cirratulidae polychaetes is underestimated also in the subtropical and tropical regions of Africa.

Two new species of Romulea are described from Northern Cape, raising the number of species in southern Africa to 76. R. collina J.C.Manning Goldblatl is endemic to the Hantamsberg near Calvinia. It is distinguished in subgenus Spatalanthus by its clumped habit, yellow flowers with dark markings in the throat, and short papery bracts. A re-examination of rela­tionships within the subgenus suggests that section Cruciatae is not monophyletic and it is accordingly no longer recog­nized as separate from section  Spatalanthus. R. eburnea J.C.Manning Goldblatt is a distinctive species of subgenus Spatalanthus from the Komsberg near Sutherland. It is distinguished by its golden yellow flowers with the apical third of the tepals coloured pale creamy apricot, bracts with broad, translucent margins and tips, and an unusually long perianth tube, 10-13 mm long.

Carex sect. Schoenoxiphium (18 spp.) is a monophyletic group that has its centre of diversity in eastern south Africa. We describe two new species from the Republic of South Africa and Lesotho on the basis of morphological characters. Both new species (C. badilloi and C. parvirufa) are closely related to C. ludwigii, C. kukkoneniana and C. pseudorufa.

AbstractThe number of valid forms of Acanthopsylla Jordan and Rothschild in Australia now stands at 12 including, as new species, dunneti and incerta, and as new subspecies, rothschildi multidentata, scintilla rectangulata, and scintilla tasmanica. Descriptions are provided for these and notes and illustrations on some of the others. A. rothschildi victoriana is reduced to synonymy with A. r. rothschildi.
