Salaciola sp. (undescribed)

( Fig. 21 )

Material examined. MADAGASCAR: Southwestern Madagascar, Isalo National Park, Analalava forest (2 JJ, MMBC).

Comment. During studying Madagascan Salaciola material, two male specimens were found in a seasonal forest of Isalo Massif which do not belong to any described species. Therefore, this species will be described when further specimens (including females) are found. The specimens are very similar to those of Salaciola caliginosa Slater, 1989 but also differ in many features.
