In this study, we review six morphologically similar species of Sesamia Guenée, 1852 from Africa, including three new species that are described: Sesamia corymbosus Le Ru n. sp., S. schoenoplectus Le Ru n. sp. and S. ...
Steinernema litchii n. sp. (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), a new entomopathogenic nematode from South Africa
(Brill, 2017)
During a survey in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, a Steinernema species was isolated from a soil sample taken from a litchi orchard. Steinernema litchii n. sp. can be separated from other, closely related, species ...
Characterisation of some Scutellonema species (Tylenchida: Hoplolaimidae) occurring in Botswana, South Africa, Costa Rica and the USA, with description of S. clavicaudatum sp. n. and a molecular phylogeny of the genus
(Brill, 2017)
The genus Scutellonema contains more than 40 species of spiral nematodes with enlarged phasmids called scutella. In this
study, we provide morphological and molecular characterisation of S. clavicaudatum sp. n., S. ...
Nagumoea serrata, a new diatom species (Bacillariophyceae) found on seagrass from the south-eastern coast of Africa (Indian Ocean)
(Czech Phycological Society, 2020)
A novel diatom species belonging to the genus Nagumoea is described based on detailed light and scanning electron microscopy observations. The new taxon was found abundantly in several samples collected from seagrass on ...
