. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. THE GENUS BRANCHIPODOPSIS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA 355. Fig. 31. Branchipodopsis cf. tridens (AMLEN151A). A. Dorsal view of left half of cly- peus, Zimbabwe specimens. B. Detail of basal processes. Scales = 100 jum. Until such time as collecting over greater areas of southern Africa has been done and further research into sexual isolation and molecular biology has been undertaken, it seems prudent to simply describe the variation observed without drawing any conclusions. Distribution Branchipodopsis tridens is widely distributed in the arid western region of southern Africa. A large number of records from northern Namibia exist, and this species has also been collected from the southern part of that country as well as the north-western Cape (Fig. 39). The Zimbabwe specimens represent the most easterly record of the species and B. tridens has also been collected from Bloemfontein in the central region of South Africa (Seaman et ah 1991). Branchipodopsis underbergensis sp. nov. Figs 32-33 Material Holotype. SAM-A40837, 1 S ( mm); collected from rock pool on Bamboo Mountain, near Underberg, Drakensberg, Natal, by T, Clarke & N. Crouch, December 1993. Paratypes. SAM-A40838, 15 6 ( ± mm), 8 9 ( mm); same collection data as holotype. Other material examined. SAM-A40848, 24 6 ( ± mm), 29 9 ( ± mm); collected from Underberg, Drakensberg, Natal, collector and date unknown (specimens were previously in the teaching collection of the Zoology Department, University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg)..
