Fig. 20

Material examined.

Holotype. Madagascar • ♀; Trafonomby [24.549938°S, 46.725393°E]; Museum Paris; Aug. 1940; A. Seyrig leg. [blue labels]; Coll. Mus. Tervuren [white label] ; HOLOTYPUS Dinapsis seyrigi sp. n. ♀ K-J Hedqvist det. 1967 [red label]; MNHN.

Additional specimens examined.

Madagascar • 1 ♀; Fianarantsoa Province, 7 km W Ranomafana ; [21.263064°S, 47.383935°E]; 900 m a.s.l.; 20-31 Jan. 1990; W.E. Steiner leg.; Malaise trap in small clearing; montane rain forest; USNM .

Distribution.

(Fig. 43 ) Madagascar.

Comments.

The type-locality of Trafanomby is now located inside the Androhahela National Park. Dinapsis seyrigi can be easily distinguished from all other species treated in this paper by the smooth (unsculptured) condition of the gena (Fig. 20E ).
