Abstract
Atrichops Verrall, 1909 of the Afrotropical Region are revised, and Atherix adamastor Stuckenberg, 1960, previously unplaced, is transferred to Atrichops based on morphological characters and feeding ecology. A new South African species, A. intermediussp. nov. is also described from Mpumalanga Province.
期刊介绍:
African Invertebrates is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal that focuses primarily on the taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, and palaeontology of Afrotropical invertebrates, whether terrestrial, freshwater or marine. Aspects concerning biology, ecology, and conservation may also be considered where these relate to the primary focus areas. Papers dealing solely with biology, ecology, physiology, pests and pest control should be submitted elsewhere.
