Abstract
AbstractThe limnadiid clam shrimps of southern Africa are revised and the history and difficulties surrounding the taxonomy of the species in this region are discussed. Three new species are described: two of EulimnadiaPackard, 1874 and one of GondwanalimnadiaRogers, Rabet & Weeks, 2016. The two new Eulimnadia species are distinguished from congeners by their unique egg ornamentation: dense, fine, long striae in E. striatan. sp., broadly angular to subcylindrical with numerous rows of narrow, rectangular polygons in E. subcylindriforman. sp. The taxonomy and identity of Gondwanalimnadia is discussed in detail and validated as a new species as Gondwanalimnadia costatan. sp. This species is readily separated from the southern African Eulimnadia by the characters of the genus and the egg, which is spherical with large, broad costae.
