Oecobius marathaus Tikader, 1962 View in CoL

Oecobius marathaus Tikader, 1962: 684 View in CoL , fig. 2a–b (female holotype and female paratype from India, Poona, Jangli Maharaj

Road, 4.IV.1961, B.K. Tikader leg., probably in National Zoological Collections, Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta, not

examined). World Spider Catalog 2018 (complete citation list).

Distribution. Known from Brazil, India, Laos, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia ( World Spider Catalog, 2018) and herein newly recorded from Madagascar ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ).

Remarks. The record of this species in Madagascar is not particularly surprising, since it has been recorded previously from the nearby Seychelles ( Saaristo 1978, Santos & Gonzaga 2003) and Reunion islands ( Jacquot et al. 2016). This is the second widely distributed, synanthropic species of Oecobius recorded from Madagascar. However, the previous record of O. annulipes requires confirmation, since this species has been confounded with O. navus in the literature ( World Spider Catalog 2018, compare Shear 1970: figs 29, 50, 51 with Santos & Gonzaga 2003: figs 2–5).

Material examined. Madagascar, Antsiranana: Diana: Montagne des Français (12°19’22’’S 49°20’17’’E, 7.2 km 142° SE Antsiranana), 23–15.II.2001, L.J. Boutin leg., 1♂ 1♀ 4 juv. (CASENT 9000863) GoogleMaps .
