Abstract

The female of the Cape relict Meridioclita capensis Krikken, 1982 and two new subspecies of Ichnestoma are described. Ichnestoma cuspidata cochleata subsp. n. and I. struempheri kikvorsti subsp. n. are new microendemics from the Karoo region. Trichostetha fascicularis natalis Burmeister and T. fascicularis prunipennis Burmeister are reinstated as valid taxa, based on new records.
