Two new species of the families Polyxenidae and Synxenidae, are described from Table Mountain National Park, South Africa. Propolyxenus squamatussp. n. (Polyxenidae) has tergites I-X mostly covered by scale-shaped trichomes directed caudally, a character previously known only in Synxenidae. The structure of scale-shaped dorsal trichomes is different to that of the scales in Phryssonotus and Condexenus species. Phryssonotus brevicapensissp. n. (Synxenidae) is the only known species of the genus Phryssonotus having 11 tergites, (including collum and telson) and 15 pairs of legs, as in Condexenus biramipalpus Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 2006. These two species therefore appear to occupy an intermediate position between Phryssonotus (12 tergites) and Polyxenoidea (maximum of 11 tergites).
南非桌山国家公园发现了多栉衣鱼科和合栉衣鱼科的两个新物种。鳞多栉衣鱼新种(多栉衣鱼科)的第一至第十背板大多覆盖着向后的鳞片状毛状体,这一特征以前仅在合栉衣鱼科中已知。鳞片状背毛状体的结构与Phryssonotus和Condexenus物种的鳞片不同。短头Phryssonotus新种(合栉衣鱼科)是Phryssonotus属中唯一已知具有11节背板(包括颈板和尾节)和15对足的物种,如同2006年的阮维杰 - 雅克明描述的双叉Condexenus。因此,这两个物种似乎处于Phryssonotus(12节背板)和多栉衣鱼总科(最多11节背板)之间的中间位置。
