Abstract
Neothada hades n.sp, from South Africa is characterized by the posessi on of small but distinct stylet knobs, 149-175 body annules intersecte d by 14 longitudinal lines (incisures), protruding lateral fields mark ed by four incisures, and an elongate-conoid tail with bluntly rounded tip. Reasons are given why N. cancellata (Thorne 1941) and N. tatra ( Thorne & Malek 1968) are regarded as two distinct species, and why N. cancellata apud Andrassy, 1982 is regarded as distinct from Thorne's s pecies. Andrassy's species is renamed N. andrassyi n.sp. A key is pres ented for the six recognized species of Neothada.
