( Figs 55–57 View Figs 55–63 , 67 View Fig )

Type locality. Madagascar, former Antananarivo province, Analamanga region, Ankazobe district, Ambohitantely reserve.

Type material. HOLOTYPE: J, “CASENT 8107371 // MADAGASCAR: Province Antananarivo, 46 km NE of Ankazobe: Ambohitantely 18° 11.88’ S, 47° 16.89’ 14 – 29 November 2004 // California Acad of Sciences coll: M. Irwin, R. Harin’Hala malaise trap - in sclerophyl forest elev 700 m MA-27-21” ( CAS) . PARATYPE: 1 J, same data and labels as the holotype except “CASENT 8107415”, “ 22 Dec 2004 - 6 Jan 2005 ” and “MA-27-24” ( CAS).

Diagnosis. Perinetella fiedleri sp. nov. is similar to P. nigroflava but differs in the following characters: apical process of dorsal periandrium with single arm oriented dorso-apicad; anterior margin with broad, widely rounded lobe, oriented basad ( Fig. 56 View Figs 55–63 ).

Description. Measurements. Total length: 12.5–12.8 mm. Vertex:A/B 4.53–4.73. Frons: C/ E 0.75; D/ E 0.90. Pronotum: F/B 2.33. Mesonotum: G/F 4.71–4.77; G/B+F 3.30–3.34; G/H 1.06–1.10. Tegmina: sutural angle rounded, I/J 1.92–2.09.

Coloration. Same as in P. nigroflava .

Male terminalia. Anal tube, in lateral view, with apical part widely rounded ( Fig. 55 View Figs 55–63 ); in dorsal view, with apical part elongate oval. Genital style with weakly arcuate or almost straight dorsal margin; lower part of posterior margin concave, upper part convex; ventral margin almost straight; capitulum long and sharp ( Fig. 55 View Figs 55–63 ). Periandrium with ventral margin of dorsal part prolonged; apical process of dorsal periandrium with single arm oriented dorso-apicad; anterior margin with broad, widely rounded lobe, oriented basad ( Figs 56–57 View Figs 55–63 ).

Female. Unknown.

Etymology. The species is named to honour Arkady Fiedler (1894–1985), Polish writer, journalist and adventurer. He depicted his impressions of people and wildlife from the voyages to Madagascar (in 1937, 1965–1966) in several highly readable books.

Distribution. Madagascar: former Antananarivo province ( Fig. 67 View Fig ).
