Differential diagnosis
.
Pogonostoma
(
M
.)
andreevae
is immediately distinguished from all species of the genus by its yellow-testaceous metatarsi. For other diagnostic characters see under
P

Moravec (2007)
.
Distribution and ecology
(
Fig. 37
).
Pogonostoma
(
M.
)
andreevae
is known only from the evergreen forest of the Ranomafana National Park in south-eastern part of the Central
Highlands
. The three known adults were caught along Talatakely touristic circuit in an elevation
1080 m
, in fact nearby the village of Ranomafana. Despite that Talatakely is characterized as a low montane secondary forest, it maintains amazing biodiversity.

Remarks
.
Pogonostoma
(
M.
)
andreevae
was originally described by the first author (
Moravec 2007
) from the female
holotype
, while the only known male was identified by him from specimens sent for his study by David Kavanaugh (CAS) much later, when the monograph of
Pogonostoma
was in press. Consequently, the male was additionally included into the monograph and designated as
allotype
. As only diagnostic characters of the male
allotype
were illustrated in the monograph, its habitus and metatarsi are illustrated for the first time here (
Figs 30–31
, photographed in CAS database).
