S. Goodman , 17–27.XI.1995 . Paratypes : 1 ♀ , FMMC 8194 , same data as holotype ; 1 ♂, 1 ♀ , FMMC , Andohahela camp #5, 20 km SE Andranondambo , 1875 m , montane rainforest, 24°33.7’ S , 46°43.3’ E , leg. S. Goodman , 27.XI.–5.XII.1995 . Differential diagnosis: see H. goodmani for a differentiation between both species. The posterior gonopods with the swollen, well-rounded projection ( w , Fig. 60E ) resemble closely those of H. brachiosauroides ; see above for a separation between these two species. Description . Measurements : males with 50 or 51 rings, circa 72 mm long, 5.0– 5.2 mm wide. Female with 50 rings, 74 mm long, 5.8 mm wide. Coloration: median part of collum, anterior part of telson and body rings greyish ( Figs 60A, C ). Head dark green. Legs and antennae reddish ( Fig. 60B ). Posterior margin of collum, body rings and telson light brown ( Figs 60A, C ). Eyes with 46–48 ocelli ( Fig. 60A ). Anterior gonopod sternite basally wide, apically elevated into a wide, well-rounded lobe ( Fig. 60D ). Mesal coxite process wide and only slightly protruding ( Fig. 60D ). Apical process of telopodite large and well-rounded. Retrorse margin slender, widely projecting above telopodite margin ( Fig. 60F ); margin basally of apical process not projecting ( Fig. 60F ). Posterior gonopods telopodite bent 90° ( Fig. 60G ). Lateral margin with a thick, swollen, well-rounded projection ( w , Fig. 60E ). Apical process ( x ) basally wide, apically tapering ( Fig. 60E ). Membranous lobe ( y ) large and circular ( Fig. 60E ). Projection of sperm canal ( z ) straight, long and slender ( Fig. 60G ). Distribution and ecology : this species could until now only be collected in the Andohahela Mountains north of the Isaka-Ivondro corridor ( Fig. 54 ), at 1500–1850 m elevation. It is currently unknown if this species is restricted to such high elevations. Figure 60. Hylekobolus montanus sp. n. , male holotype.

Etymology: montanus , adjective, refers to the high elevation where the species was collected.
