Abstract
Nineteen species of the genus Octavius Fauvel, 1873 from Maloti-Drakensberg and Golden Gate National Parks, South Africa were recognised. Thirteen species are described as new: Octavius aureaportalis Janák, sp. nov., O. clarkei Janák, sp. nov., O. flagellatus Janák, sp. nov., O. gracilis Janák, sp. nov., O. gxaligengwanus Janák, sp. nov., O. kambergensis Janák, sp. nov., O. lothenicus Janák, sp. nov., O. monachicucullus Janák, sp. nov., O. penicullatus Janák, sp. nov., O. regius Janák, sp. nov., O. squamatus Janák, sp. nov., O. subulatus Janák, sp. nov. and O. undulatus Janák, sp. nov., distribution records of additional six species of Octavius are presented and all species are illustrated.
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.
