Fig. 2 c – e

New record: MD 235, Moramanga, Plaine de Marovoay, X 1949, Paulian leg. (1/0/0), Ac 1233. Slide-mounted, MNHN.

Remark: This specimen agrees well with the original description of the species that has not been recorded since. However, as it is obviously a juvenile adult, it is possible that the characteristic shape of the eye capsule ( Fig. 2 c) changes with further sclerotization.
