( Figures 1–7 ) Etymology The specific epithet comes from the Latin ochraceus , meaning ochre coloured, and refers to the colouration of the species. Diagnosis See Diagnosis of the genus. Description Total length 0.80–0.92 cm . Head. Vertex: proportion A/B = 8.66–11.66; posterior and lateral margins straight, lateral almost parallel; disc of vertex almost flat ( Figures 1D ; 2A,B ). Frons: proportion C/E = 0.81–0.90; proportion D/E = 0.98–1.02; lateral margins of frons elevated and weakly arcuate. Clypeus in median portion weakly convex ( Figures 1E,F ; 2C,D ). Thorax. Pronotum: proportion F/B = 4.66–5.66; anterior margin with median shallow incision ( Figures 1D ; 2A,B ). Mesonotum: proportion G/F = 0.97–1.02, proportion G/B + F = 2.35–2.40, proportion G/H = 0.80–0.96. Tegmina: proportion I/ J = 2.21–2.43; vein Sc ending with one terminal, RA and RP with one or two terminals; vein M ending with eight (female) and ten (male) terminals; vein Cu with five or six terminals ending at postclaval margin ( Figure 3B–F ). Hind tibia apically with seven teeth ( Figure 2G,H ); basitarsomere with six apical spines in formula 2 + 4 (lateral distinctly larger than internal) ( Figures 2H ; 3A ); lateral spines of second tarsomere well developed, median lobe not exceeding level of spines ( Figure 2H ). Male genitalia. Anal tube (in lateral view; Figures 3G ; 5A ) twice as long as wide; basal part rectangular, apical part tapered, apex rounded. Anal tube (in dorsal view; Figures 3H ; 5B ) with anterior and posterior margins almost straight. Pygofer (in lateral view; Figure 3G ) with dorsal margin concave. Genital styles (in lateral view; Figures 3G ; 5C ) with ventral margin arcuate and dorsal margin almost straight. Phallic complex. Dorsal part of periandrium: ventral process narrow, arcuate, with four small dorsal teeth; dorsal process longer and more massive than ventral process, with denticulate upper margin and horn-like apex. Ventral part of periandrium: ventral surface with row of seven to nine denticles ( Figure 5D,E ). Aedeagus: dorsal part apically with deep rectangular incision ( Figure 5G ). Female genitalia. Anal tube (in dorsal view; Figures 4C ; 6B ): anterior margin almost straight. Gonoplac: posterior margin with row of five or six teeth ( Figure 6C,D ). Spermatheca: ductus receptaculi ribbed, long and widened subapically; diverticulum ductus smooth, basal part tubular, apical part elongated and widened apically in form of membranous bulla ( Figure 7A,B ). Colouration. General colour ochre (yellow-reddish-brown), two black dots on lateral parts of pronotum. Type material Holotype , ♂ : [ Madagascar Nord , Rég. Tsaratanana, N.M . Mangidrano], [ Analabana , IV-1964 , 1640 m. P. Soga ], [ Museum Paris ] – MNHN Paratype , 1♀ : the same locality labels as in Holotype – MNHN Note : According to the literature, locality data of type-specimens seems to be incomplete and written incorrectly. The only work with the same locality data is that of Montreuil (2010) ; however, in many other papers the locality is cited as follow: Madagascar Nord, Région du Tsaratanana, N.O. de Mangindrano, Analabana, 10/ 20-IV-1964 , 1640 m, P. Soga. Distribution Madagascar : Mahajanga Province , Sofia Region, Bealanana district, Mangidrano commune.
