Kiefer (1934) reviewed the South African freshwater Copepoda and so provided a firm basis for current taxonomic research on copepods in southern Africa. In addition, the world list of calanoid copepods compiled by Dussart & Defaye (1983) is an important reference work. The four closely related Lovenula species are among the largest of the freshwater diaptomids and it is surprising that there has been so much confusion about the identity of these distinctive predatory copepods. However, the con- stant changes to the generic name, as well as the large number of synonyms, testify to the lack of any in-depth study, and Kiefer (1934) was largely dis-. Fig. 2.
