A new genus Roweia in the holothurian family Cucumariidae is erected to accomodate two southern African dendrochirotids, Cucmaria frauenfeldi Ludwig and C. stephensoni John which have previously always been classified in Cucumaria (s.l.). Some intraspecific variations in R. frauenfeldi are discussed and, on this basis, the species is rediagnosed and two subspecies recognised. The species and subspecies of the new genus are keyed, their synonymy is considered and distributions mapped. New information in regard to R. stephensoni is also included.
