Megalopinus heissi Puthz

(Figs 13–18)

Megalopinus heissi Puthz, 1997: 7, fig. 1.

Material studied: CE Madagascar: 1 ♂, Parc Anjozorobe Angavo, circuit trail to parking place, -18.4070 / 47.9445, ~ 1300 m, rainforest, from vegetation, leg. R . Ruta (MNHW) .

Remarks. This species was previously known to occur in Montagne D’Ambre N.P., in the northernmost area of the island. Similarly as for M. lemur, the new finding extends its distribution to the central-eastern region of Madagascar.

Proportions and shapes of body parts, pigmentation and puncture pattern do not differ between the holotype (studied as a high-resolution photograph) and the newly collected specimen, except for the antennal clubs, which in the male from Anjozorobe are not distinctly darkened. The aedeagus of the newly found specimen (Figs 16−18) dif- fers from that illustrated by Puthz (1997) in minor details, mainly in the pair of small, elongate submedian sclerites not separated, but touching at middle. This seems to be either a variation or a result of misplacement of endophallic structures during preparation.
