AM LEN 149A, 7 6 ( mm); collected from a shallow (5-10 cm), clear stretch of water with sparse, dead vegetation on side of main road from Bredasdorp to Struisbaai, Cape Province, by M. Hamer, 17 July 1990. Redescription of adult male Clypeus. Basal process with broad, double-lobed base; second lobe pos- itioned slightly ventral to first (Figs 15A-C, 16A). Narrow, medianly directed apex with two small pointed tubercles (Figs 15A, 16A). Lamelliform process oval and slender (Fig. 15A). Apical joint strongly curved, with distinct bend and blunt apex (Fig. 15A). Median ventral process large, oval and with blunt spines (Fig. 16B). Cercopods. Moderate length (ratio to total body length approximately : 1). Outer margins convex with short plumose setae along entire length. Proximal two-fifths of inner margins with plumose setae, followed by 8-10 acute, evenly spaced spines (Fig. 15D). Abdominal spines. Last abdominal segment without ventral spines. Penes. Basal part with large rounded projection on median margin and small, but distinct, peg-like projection distally on lateral margin (Fig. 15E). Distribution Branchipodopsis hodgsoni appears to be concentrated in the south-east coastal region of South Africa, from Kenton-on-Sea in the north to Bredasdorp in the south. The locality of Ashton in the western Cape represents the furthest inland record (Fig. 38).. Fig. 16. Branchipodopsis hodgsoni (AMLEN149A). A. Right basal process; 1—dorsal lobe; 2—ventral lobe. B. Dorsal view of median ventral process. Scales: A = 50 /xm; B = 25 ^ Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability -
