| Summary: | The authors have completed the study of the genera <i>Cervellaea</i> Borovec & Meregalli, 2021, and <i>Namaquania</i> Borovec & Meregalli, 2021, two of the seven genera of the tribe Namaini Meregalli & Borovec, 2021. The type species of the two genera are re-described, to match their descriptions with that of the other species, and eight new species are described: <i>Cervellaea acutifrons</i> sp. n. (type locality: Western Cape, Cederberg Mts.); <i>C. griseoscapa</i> sp. n. (type locality: Northern Cape, near Botterkloof Pass); <i>C. oberprieleri</i> sp. n. (type locality: Northern Cape, SE of Nieuwoudtville); <i>C. prima</i> sp. n. (type locality: Western Cape, SW of Vanrhynsdorp); <i>C. troetroe</i> sp. n. (type locality: Western Cape, Vanrhynsdorp); <i>Namaquania basteriana</i> sp. n. (type locality: Northern Cape, W of Eksteenfontein); <i>N. inopinata</i> sp. n. (type locality: Northern Cape, N of Port Nolloth); and <i>N. rotundiseta</i> sp. n. (type locality: Northern Cape, Ploeberg Mt.). A key to the species of the genera <i>Cervellaea</i> and <i>Namaquania</i> is given. |
