ZooKeys is another option, with Open Access and costs somewhere in the
middle, at 1–40 printed pages for € 550; no charge for color plates. I
guess they try to discourage very short papers. It does automatic
registration with Zoobank and exports or displays content to major web
taxon aggregators, and provides a bunch of other automated services.

I can’t vouch for all the editing but some of us take it seriously.
