Males ( +Figs. 54 A–C +) can be distinguished from those of other + +Uduba +species + +except + +U. evanescens + +and + +U. rakotofrah + +in that the palp has a notched MA and the pointed TA2 that extends far apicad but differs from + +U. rakotofrah + +in that TA3 and conductor extend apicad of all processes (in + +U. rakotofrah + +the TA2 extends far apicad, +Figs. 57 A–C +), TA3 is large and swollen (small and hidden in + +U. rakotofrah + +) and the basal lobe of the MA is entire with a concave margin (deeply forked in + +U. rakotofrah + +). The females have the epigynum of the typical “ + +Calamistrula + +” +type +, or + +Uduba evanescens + +group (Map 16), with large, earlike lobes extending laterally of the median sector ( +Figs. 71 A +, +80 J +) +.

The form of the male palp is similar among + +Uduba valiha + +, + +U. fisheri + +and + +U. hiragasy + +: females of + +U. fisheri + +and + +U. hiragasy + +have been collected with and therefore associated with males but no females have been collected with + +U. valiha + +. The form of the female genitalia of both the species + +U. fisheri + +and + +U. hiragasy + +is similar to that of specimen CASENT9006071 from Massif Andringitra, suggesting this female belongs to the same group of species. Because this female is distinct from those of + +U. fisheri + +and + +U. hiragasy + +, and geographically near the male localities of + +U. valiha + +, we tentatively associate the males collected in rainforest at +600m +elevation in Forêt de Vevembe with the female collected at +785m +elevation from Massif Andringitra as + +U. valiha + +. There appears to be an error on the label for specimens collected by S.

Males differ from other species by having a retromedian ridge on the tegulum ( +Figs. 64 C +, +65 E +), and a deeply bifid MA ( +Fig. 28 B +) with prolateral lobe slender, retrolateral lobe stout; + +U. valiha + +males differ from those of + +U. hiragasy + +by having a short, stout retrolateral spine on the palpal tibia ( +Fig. 64 C +) (spine absent in + + +U. hiragasy + +, + +Fig. 44 C +), by having the TA2 apically rolled ( +Fig. 28 B +) (blunt, entire in + +U. hiragasy + +, +Fig. 28 A +) and the apex of the MA prolateral lobe rounded slender ( +Figs. 64 A +, +65 E +) (truncate in + +U. hiragasy + +, +Fig. 44 B +). Females lack a median lobe or defined atrium on the epigynum ( +Figs. 72 G +, +80 H +) and have the vulva with spermathecal loops few, anteroposteriorly oriented ( +Figs. 72 H +, +80 I +); + +U. valiha + +can be distinguished from those of similar + +Uduba +species + +by having the lateral epigynal margins strongly convex ( +Fig. 72 G +, +80 H +) (but the lateral margins not developed into the lateral “ears” found in + +U. evanescens + +and + +U. pseudoevanescens + +, +Figs. 71 A, E +); distinguished from female + +U. fisheri + +( +Fig. 72 E +). and + +U. hiragasy + +( +Fig. 72 C +) by lacking a strong ridge along epigastric furrow and having lateral lobes with convex edges forming ridges or lobes on each side, these ridges extending around anteriorly and posteriorly of CO ( +Fig. 72 G +). + + + + +Description.

An epigynum that has a clearly defined median lobe and surrounding atrium is associated with a male palpus that has a screw shaped TA3, e.g., as in + +Uduba dahli + +, + +U. platnicki + +, and + +U. schlingeri + +. Females of + +Uduba woodae + +have a divided cribellum and a median lobe plus atrium +type +epigynum that has the part of the epigynal plate that is posteriad of the atrium high, nearly equal in length to the ML itself ( +Figs. 78 A, C, E +, +79 B +). Females from southwestern +Madagascar +( +Toliara Province +) that have divided cribella and this +type +of epigynum include CASENT9000536 from Forêt de Beroboka ( +Fig. 78 A +) and CASENT9030930 from Mikea Forest, NW of Manombo, which are here considered to be examples of + +U. woodae + +. An old series of female specimens collected by Carougeau during +19–30 November 1901 +and deposited in the Paris Museum (MNHN) also shows these epigynal characters. The collection locality for these specimens may be Ambovombe, which is in far southern +Madagascar +, also in +Toliara Province +. All these unique collections of cribellate females are considered to belong to species + +U. woodae + +. + + + + + +Diagnosis. + +Uduba woodae + + +are members of Group I.b, the +Uduba woodae +group (Map 14) of Group I, the Epigynal atrium group. They are cribellate, with divided cribellum or vestige. Males have the palp ( +Figs 66 A–C +, +67 A–F +) with TA2 highly sclerotized, black, concave medially against TA3 ( +Fig. 66 B +), MA concave in middle with proximal sharp point ( +Figs. 66 C +, +67 D +), origin at 0.45 times tegulum length. Males are distinguished from + +U. lehibekokoa + +by having a sharp point on the MA, the TA3 apex blunt ( +Figs. 66 C +, +67 B +), the VTA that is short and straight ( +Figs. 66 A, C +), length less than 2 times width, and specimens that are smaller in size, total length = 9.00– +12.40mm +( + +U. lehibekokoa + +males have the MA smooth, the TA3 apex pointed, VTA long and curved apically, length greater than 2 times width, +Figs. 50 A–C +, and specimens that are larger in size, total length 14.00– +15.50mm +). Females have the epigynal plate with median lobe surrounded by depressed atrium ( +Figs. 78 A, C, E +, +79 B +), ML elongate, length at least 1.5 times width, atrium narrow and ML broad. The median lobe ends well anteriad of epigastric furrow, the post-atrial plate of the epigynum is very high and the epigynum length is greater than 1.5 times atrial length ( +Figs. 78 A, C, E +, +79 B +, +80 D +). + + + + +Description.

They are cribellate, with divided cribellum or vestige. Males can be distinguished from those of other + +Uduba + +by having the palp with TA2 highly sclerotized, black, concave medially against TA3 ( +Fig. 50 A +), distinguished from + +U. schlingeri + +by having the TA2 concave but not chelate (TA2 chelate in + +U. schlingeri + +, +Figs. 61 B +, +62 C, E +), and from + +U. taralily + +by having a simple MA ( +Fig. 50 B +) ( + +U. taralily + +with MA concave with lateral projections, +Fig. 63 B +). + +Uduba lehibekokoa + +specimens are distinguished from + +U. woodae + +by having the MA A–C, and specimens are larger size, total length 14.00–15.50 ( + +U. woodae + +males have a sharp point on the MA, the TA3 apex is blunt, the VTA is short and straight, length less than twice width, +Figs. 66 A–C +, and specimens are less than 12.50 total length).
