L. Fisher,  22.IX.1998, sifted litter.  Paratype: 1 ♀, FMMC, Province Toliara, Petriky, 10 mlittoral forest on sand, in leaf litter, 25°03’ S, 46°53’ E, leg. T. Wesener, 17.IV.2003.    Differentialdiagnosis:the colour pattern of  A. laticlaviusis unique for  Alluviobolusand also for millipedes living in Petriky, allowing a secure identification of this species.  A. laticlaviusdiffers from  A. antanosy sp. n.in the shape of posterior gonopods and male coxal processes, although the latter species can be found just five kilometers south of Petriky. The posterior gonopods of  Alluviobolus laticlaviusare quite similar to those of  A. tsimelahy sp. n.  A. laticlavius, however, differs from the latter in the shape of the male coxal processes as well as in the colour pattern.    Description. holotypewith 47 body rings, 39 mmlong, 3.9 mmwide.  Colorationon mesozonites faded to grey, metazonites black ( Fig. 44C). Rings dorsally with a wide red stripe. Legs, antennae, anal valves, subanal scale and posterior part of preanal process faded to light brown ( Figs 44A–C). Eyeswith circa 25 ocelli arranged in five rows ( Fig. 44A). Antennaeprotruding back to ring 5 ( Fig. 44A). Male coxal processesonly present on coxae 3 and 4 ( Fig. 57B). Processes slen- der, bended posteriorly and protruding above coxa of adjacent leg. Preanal processabsent ( Fig. 44C).  Anterior gonopodsternite elevated into a wide lobe, apically slightly tapering. Tip well-rounded ( Fig. 44E). Coxite and telopodite inconspicuous ( Figs 44E, G).  Posterior gonopods: telopodite without a membranous fringe ( Fig. 44H). Apical sclerite ( xin Fig. 44H) slender, triangular, regularly protruding into a slender, acute tip ( Fig. 44F).    Distributionand ecology: this species is only known and possibly microendemic to the worldwide unique ( Vincelette et al. 2003) subhumid littoral forest of Petriky ( Fig. 43). Like other species of the genus, does  A. laticlaviuslives on and in the leaf litter.    Etymology:  laticlavius, adjective, refers to the characteristic wide red stripe of this species. 2608818291 1998-09-22 FMMC B.
