摘要

根据从南非北开普省纳马夸兰德（Namaqualand）的一条干涸的季节性河流的残留水池中采集的标本，描述了Protozantaena gigantea sp.从形态上看，该新物种似乎与纳米比亚的 P. labrata Perkins（1997 年）和东开普省大陡崖的 P. birdi Bilton（2022 年）有关。新物种体长达 2.0 毫米，虽然体型较小，但却是迄今所知最大的非洲原羚 Perkins, 1997。我们还借此机会报告了东开普省德拉肯斯堡的 P. birdi 的新记录。

A distinctive new species of Protozantaena Perkins, 1997 from lowland Namaqualand, South Africa (Coleoptera, Hydraenidae).

Protozantaena gigantea sp. nov. is described, based on specimens collected from residual pools in a drying seasonal river in Namaqualand, Northern Cape Province, South Africa. Morphologically, the new species appears to be related to P. labrata Perkins, 1997 from Namibia and P. birdi Bilton, 2022, from the Great Escarpment in the Eastern Cape Province. At up to 2.0 mm in body length, the new species, whilst small, is by far the largest African Protozantaena Perkins, 1997 known to date. The opportunity is also taken to report a new record for P. birdi in the Eastern Cape Drakensberg.

期刊介绍： Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
