چکیده
Larval instars II and III of Ochthebius (Ochthebius) capicola (Pdringuey 1892) from South Africa are described and illustrated by SEM, including a detailed analysis of their chaetotaxy and porotaxy. Specimens used in this study were collected with adults of the same species in marine rockpools. The larval morphology of O. capicola is compared to that of other members of the same genus occurring in this habitat, contributing to the current taxonomic and phylogenetic debate on the intrageneric taxonomy of Ochthebiinae.

Sebasthetops omaliniformis Jäch, 1998, is a morphologically aberrant hydraenid, known from two female specimens collected from the Western Cape of South Africa in 1988. Recent fieldwork has resulted in the rediscovery of the species, close to the type locality. The male of S. omaliniformis is described from this material, and the opportunity taken to publish a record of Sebasthetops from the La...
