Torridincolidae

Delevea namibiensis Endrödy-Younga, 1997

Described from the Northern Cape and Namibia and not apparently reported since. Abundant in the Oorlogskloof River ( Site 11) below Driefontein Waterfall, where it was netted from small riffles. I have also found the species abundantly in drying, isolated pools in the Groen River, beside the N7, ca. 2 km S of Garies (Northern Cape), in October 2014 and September 2016.

* Aulonogyrus abdominalis (Aubé, 1838)

A widespread southern African species. Deep, slow pools at Site 5.

Aulonogyrus marginatus (Aubé, 1838)

Another southern African species known from South Africa, Lesotho and Botswana. Deep stream pools on sandstone at Site 12.
