Griveaudus tsaratananae View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figs 11–16 View FIGURES 11 – 16 , 65–70 View FIGURES 65 – 70 )

Etymology. The specific epithet comes from the name of the Tsaratanana massif— locus typicus of newly described species.

Diagnosis. The species differs from G. issidiformis by the combination of the following characters: male—lower part of periandrium with longer process only ( Figs 67–68 View FIGURES 65 – 70 ); female—anal tube (in dorsal view) ovoid, gonapophysis VIII with 4 well developed and sharp teeth, ductus receptaculi shorter than diverticulum ductus.

Description. Total length 0.47–0.54 cm. Head. Vertex: proportion A/B = 24.00–28.00; Frons: proportion C/E = 0.90–1.00; proportion D/E = 1.07–1.15. Thorax. Pronotum: proportion F/B = 12.00–13.00. Mesonotum: proportion G/F = 2.31–2.50, proportion G/B+F = 2.14–2.31, proportion G/H = 0.69–0.73. Tegmina: proportion I/J = 1.00–2.32.

Coloration. Coloration pattern similar to that of G. issidiformis but specimens are much lighter.
