Abstract: | This paper records the results of a faunistic survey of the mountain streams of the Barberton area of the Eastern Transvaal. Sampling was carried out in five different biotopes; cascades, sprayed flanking regions, stickles, backwaters and pools. Netting of the adults and imagos and breeding out of the larvae of Chironomidae, Odonata and Ephemeroptera was done. The faunal affinities were assessed by a comparison of the mayfly fauna of this area with that reported in other surveys conducted in Africa. |
