Aphanolaimus strilliae n. sp. and Makatinus africanus n. sp. are described from freshwater sources in the Telperion Nature Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Aphanolaimus strilliae n. sp. is characterised by a body length of 1240–1613 μm, more than 800 body annules, lateral field originating between the first and second lateral body pore at the 34th–46th annule, first lateral body pore located at the 25th–35th annule, vagina V-shaped and bent anteriorly, 142–195 µm long uterus and 165–207 µm long tail with spinneret offset. This species is ovoviviparous and no males were found. Makatinus africanus n. sp. is characterised by a large, thick body (3228–4128 μm long, a = 30–39 wide), slightly set off lip region with amalgamated lips; 31–34 μm long odontostyle; long tongue-shaped cardia, and stout, short tail (30–43 μm long) with a small peg / digitate extension and male absent. Populations of three known species, Chronogaster africana, Eutobrilus annetteae and Neotobrilus ampiei, from fresh water at the Telperion Nature Reserve are described and scanning electron microscope graphs of these species published for the first time.

A New Species

Gladiolus rhodanthus is a new species known from a single population on the summit of the Stettynsberg near Villiersdorp in Western Cape. South Africa The species most closely resembles G. hirsutus and G caryophyllaceus but differs from both in flower shape and markings and in its ecology and reproductive biology. It forms part of a guild of long- tubed, pink-flowered species including  Erica praecox, Pelargonium radiatum and  Watsonia paucifolia which are pollinated by an undescribed long-proboscid fly. Moegistorhynchus sp nov. (Diptera : Nemestrinidae). Gladiolus sekukuniensis is a new species known from three populations south of the Strydpoortberge in Northern Province It closely resembles G. permeahilis subsp  edulis in vegetative features and in flower form, but differs from it in flower colour and in the elongate peri­anth tube. These floral features are apparently adaptations to pollination by long-proboscid flies.

Newly described are two new species of Spiloxene Salisb.:  S. nana Snijman from the Bokkeveld Escarpment, Northern Cape Province, is a shade-loving plant with narrow, pale green leaves and small, white or rarely cream-coloured flowers; S. pusilla Snijman from the Matsikamma, Gifberg and Pakhuis Mountains. Western Cape Province, resembles S. nana in habit but the yellow- or white-tepalled flowers which are tetramerous or hexamerous have darkly coloured stamens and style and an ovary with a short, solid, narrow prolongation at the apex. Inhabiting rock overhangs formed by quartzitic sandstone sheets, both species are close allies of S. scullyi (Baker) Garside from Namaqualand.

A new phytoptid genus and two new species, Solenocristus karooensis n. g. & n. sp. and S. searsius n. sp. (Phytoptidae, Sierraphytoptinae, Sierraphytoptini), were collected in the Eastern and Western Cape provinces of South Africa, from southern African endemic dicotyledonous trees Schotia afra (Fabaceae) and Searsia lucida (Anacardiaceae) respectively. They are described and illustrated with the aid of conventional light microscopy and low temperature scanning electron microscopy. Females of both new species possess a distinct pregenital plate divided into two parts by a subcuticular medial ridge. Additionally, in S. karooensis n. sp. the movable digit of the male chelicerae varies in length: among six observed males, three males had a movable digit (md) twice shorter than the fixed digit (fd), in one male it was slightly shorter than fd and in the remaining two males md and fd were of the same length. An updated key to the world genera of the tribe Sierraphytoptini is given. The key incorporates data on seven sierraphytoptine genera including three genera (Neoprothrix Reis & Navia, Solenoplatilobus Chetverikov & Craemer and Solenocristus n. g.) which were described since the last generic key of Eriophyoidea by Amrine et al. (2003) was published.

The present study is based on oribatid mite material (Acari, Oribatida) collected from soil of Kaaimansgat estuary, Wilderness, Western Cape, South Africa in 2018. A list of identified taxa, including 41 species from 34 genera and 23 families, is presented; of these, nine species, three genera and one family are recorded in South Africa for the first time. Two new species belonging to the family Oppiidae are described: Kokoppia kaaimansensis sp. nov. differs from Kokoppia dudichi (Balogh, 1982) by the larger body size, the medium sized lamellar and interlamellar setae, the presence of muscle sigillae in the interlamellar region and the distinctly semi-oval epimeral borders IV and the absence of notogastral setae c; Paroppia neethlingi sp. nov. differs from other species of the genus by the localization of adanal lyrifissures in a direct apoanal position and the absence of epimeral borders IV. Revised generic diagnoses and identification keys to the known species of Kokoppia and Paroppia are presented.

Two New Species

Twenty-three North American species of the genus Hemipenthes Loew are reviewed. Two new species are described (type locality in parentheses): Hemipenthes albus (Mexico, Zacatecas: 25 mi NW Zacatecas), n. sp. and H. translucens (Mexico, Morelos: Quilamula), n. sp. The following synonymies were founded: H. eumenes (Osten Sacken, 1886) is a synonym of H. seminigra Loew, 1869, n. syn.; H. floridiana (Macquart, 1850), H. pima (Painter, 1962), and H. sagata (Loew, 1869 are synonyms of H. celeris (Wiedemann, 1828), n. syns. Evidence presented here shows that H. morio (Linnaeus, 1758) has a Palearctic distribution, not Holarctic as had been considered. Chrysanthrax yaqui (Painter, 1962) is transferred from Villa, n. comb.
