| Abstract: | Summary 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. |
