Judith, a friend and former colleague of the second author, was a world-renowned primatologist specializing in lemurs, was tragically murdered, together with her partner in life and science, Dr Fabien Génin, in their Hogsback home on October 3, 2022 (Tattersall & Delpero 2022;Andrews et al 2023).

Seven new species of very small Gulella Pfeiffer, 1856 are described from two regions in the interior of south-eastern South Africa within the Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany biodiversity hotspot. In addition, the status of Gulella darglensis benthodon van Bruggen, 1980 is revised and raised to species level. All species are very small-shelled and are narrow-range endemics. Six species, G. judithmastersae sp. nov., G. kevincolei sp. nov., G. hlathikhulu sp. nov., G. nkandla sp. nov., G. mystica sp. nov. and G. libertas sp. nov. are each known from only one locality. The first two as well as G. benthodon and G. mcmasteri sp. nov. are found only in the Amathole Mountains, where poaching, illegal harvesting of plant products and uncontrolled access of cattle take place, including in protected areas. The other four species each occur at one locality in north-central KwaZulu-Natal. The localities of three of the last-mentioned species are in protected areas although they are isolated and surrounded by a heavily transformed cultural landscape rendering enforcement of conservation legislation a challenge. Six species occur in nature reserves, highlighting the importance of small pockets of protected habitat for the conservation of terrestrial snails.

“…Judith Masters was many things for many people. A selection of these things-and her educational and professional history-is outlined in tributes by the International Primatological Society (IPS, 2022), Tattersall and Delpero (2022), Wilcox (2022) and Andrews et al (2023). There is also a record of Judith in her own words (Linden, 2020).…”

In Memory of Judith Masters and Fabien Génin

Abstract: the primatological community was tragically deprived of two of its most thought-provoking minds when Drs. Judith Masters and Fabien Génin were found killed after a break-in at their home in Hogsback, in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
