Note on sexual dimorphism.
Female (
Fig. 2
) generally more robust than male (
Fig. 1
). Male differs from female also in narrower head, different shape of dorsal margin of scrobe (
Figs. 8–9
) and in larger eyes (ocular index
1.07 in
male,
1.33 in
female). Antennal club more robust and wider in female (
Fig. 14
) than in male (
Fig. 13
). Ventrites I–V in male strongly depressed in middle.
Habitat.
All specimens from the Andasibe-Mantadia NP were captured by beating lower dead branches of deciduous trees in secondary forest at altitude ca.
900–
950 m
