Spiromimus triaureus Wesener & Enghoff, 2009 View in CoL
Material examined. 1 M, FMNH-INS 3119881 , Province Mahajanga, Forêt de Beanka , 220 m, 18°01’25’’, 44°30’08’’, slightly disturbed dry deciduous tsingy forest, coll . V. Soarimalala, 17.x.2009 .
Remarks. While the anterior and posterior gonopods fit perfectly those of S. triaureus , the colour pattern of the single male, although faded due to ethanol, differs: the lateral golden band is missing, only the wider dorsal band is visible. The male has 44+0 body rings, is 43 mm long and 3.4 mm wide. DNA extraction for barcoding was unfortunately unsuccessful. This is a first record of the species from the Forêt de Beanka, but the species is widespread in western Madagascar (see Wesener & Enghoff 2009).
