Description
Male
Body length 3.5-4.0 mm. Bristles dark brown. Two dorsocentral bristles plus one short bristle in front of anterior dorsocentral. Ocellar bristle relatively long and well-developed. Genal bristles small and hair-like. Three fronto-orbital bristles. Arista pubescent. Male with small white disc anterior and ventral to anepisternal bristle. Thorax dark brown. Fore coxa white and silvery tomentose on anterior face, and mid and hind coxae light brown to yellow with upper margin light brown. Legs yellow with femora, fore tibia and fore tarsi dark brown; hind tibia sometimes dark brown. Frons dark brown with anterior margin and anterolateral corner yellow; first flagellomere yellow with orange spot at base of arista; back of head, occiput and posterior margin of gena dark brown; remainder of head yellow; parafacial silvery tomentose; gena pilose on anterodorsal margin; anterior half of frons pilose. Abdomen dark brown. Wing as described for H. nitida. M 1+2 ratio 4.7.
Male terminalia (Figs 16-18)
Sternites of annulus relatively thin ventrally. Epandrium small, rounded and shallow. Surstylus minute and triangular; inner face with six medial small rounded bristles. Cerci small and triangular (entirely united) with sides bulging. Hypandrial complex as described for H. nitida except as follows: hypandrium + pregonite with two strong medial and two strong distal bristles; phallapodeme significantly enlarged relative to remainder of hypandrial complex (2/5 longer than hypandrium + pregonite); ribs of distiphallus unequal in length.
Female
Unknown.
Etymology
The specific name refers to the small cerci and surstyli.
Holotype: BRAZIL. Dist. Fed. Planaltina, 1000m, cerradao, Malaise trap, 24.ix-6.x.1985, S.E. Miller (1 , USNM).
Paratypes: BRAZIL. Same collection as holotype (4 , USNM; 1 , DEBU).
Comments
Externally, Heteromeringia nanella is most easily characterized by brown femora and fore legs, but the most diagnostic characters are male genitalic: the annulus is reduced ventrally, the epandrium is small, and the cerci and surstyli are minute and triangular.

Wing clouded along anterior margin from R 1 to apex. M 1+2 ratio 8.5.
Male terminalia (Figs 25-27)
Epandrium 1/5 wider than high and length approximately 2/3 height. Cerci slightly tapering distally and shallowly emarginate. Surstylus thin, tapering, and weakly fused to epandrium; innerapical surface with several small rounded bristles, and outer surface with several minute setulae. Internal genitalia as described for H. nitidanitida except as follows: hypandrium + pregonite with five stout bristles along anterior margin, only several setulae along ventral margin, suture absent and dorsal margin prominent; separation between basal and distal sclerites of distiphallus distinct; distal sclerite of phallus bifid with one thin tapered process, and one wide, flat truncated process.
Female
Unknown.
Etymology
The specific name is derived from the Greek for “darkness” (zophos )).
Holotype: MEXICO. Durango. 9000 ', 10mi W El Salto, J.F. McAlpine, 30.vi.1964 (1 , CNCI).
Comments
Heteromeringia zophina superficially resembles H. apholis, which is also small and dark, but H. zophinazophina belongs to the H. nitida species group and has a male anepisternal disc. Heteromeringia zophina also has a strong additional pair of dorsocentral bristles, a light infuscation along the inner-distal margin of the first flagellomere, a brown face, a yellow tip on the palpus, a brown ventral stripe on the gena (narrowing anteriorly), and a gena that is no more than 1/3 the height of the eye. Furthermore, the surstylus is thin and mostly bare, the cerci are not as deeply incised, and the phallapodeme and distal sclerites of the distiphallus are much longer.

Etymology
The specific name is derived from the Greek for “without light” (aphos )), referring to the dark colouration of this species with respect to the other Heteromeringia with four fronto-orbitals.
Holotype: BRAZIL. R. J. Nova Friburgo, 10km S, “Sitio Edelweiss”, Malaise head, 1-28.ii.1990, S.A. Marshall (1 , QBUM).
Comments
Within the Heteromeringia czernyi group, H. aphotisma, like H. czernyiczernyi and H. flavipes, has retained dark colouration and an upcurved bristle in the posterodorsal corner of the anepisternum. Unlike these two dark species, however, H. aphotisma also has an additional reclinate fronto-orbital bristle (synapomorphic of the rest of the group), entirely dusky wings, brown legs (excluding the mid and hind tarsi) and a much darker head, easily separating it.

Comments
Although it is generally undesirable to describe a species on the basis of a single female, Heteromeringia lateralis is an easily diagnosed species distinct from all other congeners. It is characterized by an apically dark brown palpus, strong notal stripes that join anteriorly and continue along the sides of the scutellum posteriorly, and a strong band on the wing that extends along the costa into the costal cell.

Aloe succotrina

description: Aloe succotrina
Aloe succotrina was described by Richard Weston (1770: 5) based on an illustration in Commelin (1697). It is restricted to mountain slopes on the Cape Peninsula with a disjunction to the Steenbras River mouth, Kleinmond, and Hermanus in the Western Cape, South Africa. It grows in mountain fynbos on steep cliffs and rocky slopes comprised of Table Mountain Sandstone, in a high winter-rainfall region with a Mediterranean-type climate, and always generally close to the sea (Klopper 2014).
The placement of A. succotrina in A. sect. Purpurascentes has been questioned (Kemble 2011). It is argued that A. succotrina might have closer affinities with A. arborescens Miller (1768: 3) from A. sect. Arborescentes Salm-Reifferscheid-Dyck (1849: 26) than it has to other members of A. sect. Purpurascentes. Reasons for this include a strong resemblance to A. arborescens in terms of the size and shape of the floral bracts, the overall appearance of the racemes, the white marginal teeth on the leaves, and the appearance of the seed (S.J. Marais, pers. comm.). Furthermore, A. succotrina has a confused history and wrong synonymy that is probably rivalled by no other aloe (Guiglielmone et al. 2009, Walker et al. 2015). This is mostly due to early authors incorrectly assuming that this plant is from the Indian Ocean island of Socotra (Reynolds 1950, Guglielmone et al. 2009).
Historically, disjunct distributions of the species that also exhibit morphological differences, were considered to be separate species: plants growing on the Cape Peninsula were regarded as A. succotrina, while plants from Hermanus, Kleinmond, and other mainland localities were treated as A. purpurascens (Aiton 1789: 466) Haworth (1804: 20). Haworth (1804) gives the differences as follows: A. succotrina —leaves ensiform, virescent with tips subincurved, marginal teeth numerous, small, white; A. purpurascens — leaves ensiform, glaucous with tips recurved, marginal teeth white. Haworth (1804) also remarked under both names that the stems of these aloes become dichotomous with age, but lacks the radical offsets present in other members of A. sect. Grandiflorae Haworth (1804: 14), in which he included them. Reynolds (1950) concluded that these are merely geographical variants in growth forms and do not warrant distinction at either specific or varietal level.

Aloe framesii

description: Aloe framesii
Aloe framesii was described by Louisa Bolus (1933: 140) from a specimen collected at a population to the north of Port Nolloth in 1929 by Percy Ross Frames. It occurs from Port Nolloth in the Northern Cape, south to Saldanha in the Western Cape, South Africa. It has not yet been recorded from bordering southern Namibia. A form of A. framesii (see A. amoena further on) also occurs in the Cederberg near Clanwilliam, Western Cape, South Africa. Aloe framesii grows on sandy coastal flats and on sandstone outcrops (Klopper 2014).
Its closest relatives are thought to be A. khamiesensis, from western South Africa (Reynolds 1950, Carter et al. 2011) or A. microstigma from southern and western South Africa (Glen & Hardy 2000). It is treated by some authors as a subspecies of the latter, namely A. microstigma subsp. framesii (L.Bolus) Glen & Hardy (2000: 107).
Aloe amoena Pillans (1933a: 168) from the Clanwilliam area, Western Cape, South Africa, is generally regarded as a southern and more inland form of A. framesii (Reynolds 1950). This species was decribed as being allied to A. microstigma, but differs in having branched stems, larger more attenuate leaves (30–40 × 5.5–7.0 cm) and larger flowers (35–40 mm long) (Pillans 1933a). The Clanwilliam, Agter Pakhuis, and Cederberg populations of A. framesii represent this form.

Aloe gariepensis

description: Aloe gariepensis
Aloe gariepensis was described by Neville S. Pillans (1933b: 213) from a population near Warmbad, Namibia that he visited in 1931. This aloe is restricted to both sides of the Orange River Valley from Grootderm to around Keimoes in the Northern Cape, South Africa, and as far north as Warmbad in Namibia. It grows in rock cracks on steep rocky slopes, often facing the Orange River in the driest part of its course (Klopper 2014). Its closest relative is A. microstigma from south-central and western South Africa. It is sometimes regarded as possibly only a robust form of A. microstigma (Carter et al. 2011).
The form with consistently greenish yellow flowers and stemless rosettes of strongly incurved, heavily striated leaves from the extreme western reaches of the Orange River are thought by some to constitute a separate species or subspecies (Carter et al. 2011; J.J. Lavranos, pers. comm.). Others are of the opinion that the harsher environmental conditions in the lower reaches of the Orange River Valley are responsible for this variation and that it does not warrant taxonomic recognition (Reynolds 1950; E.J. van Jaarsveld, pers. comm.).
The designation ‘ Aloe gariusana ’ is mentioned by Dinter (1928) in the account of his journeys in Namibia (then South West Africa). He had found this aloe with coppery red rosettes of striped leaves near Warmbad and near Garius. However, this ‘name’ was never validly published and it remains a nomen nudum that was taken up in the synonymy of Aloe gariepensis by Reynolds (1950).
