Ombrotrella beccalonii Gorochov, 2006

Figs 1, 2 , 8–12 .

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Madagascar: 2 ♂♂, Toamasina Prov., Moramanga Distr., Analamazaotra Forest Station near Andasibe Vill. (18º56′S, 48º25′E), ~ 900 m, primary forest, at light, 8–20.III.2013, A. Gorochov ( ZIN) .

NOTE. These specimens are collected very near the type locality of this species and distinguished from O. beccalonii holotype only by a few small characters: the body coloration ( Figs 1, 2 ) is also light yellowish with a similar blackish to dark brown pattern on the head and pronotum (but in one male, the dark lines on the pronotal disc are shorter and less distinct than in the holotype and in Fig. 1 ), with almost whitish and semitransparent lateral tegminal fields having in one male several small rose spots (these rose spots are developed in the holotype and absent in my second male), with a yellow (as in the holotype) or almost light brown (in my latter male) humeral stripe along the lateral edge of each dorsal tegminal field, and with a light grey most part of the latter field (in the holotype, this field is mostly greenish grey); body structure is very similar to that of the holotype, but the tegminal venation are barely varied in all known specimens, the apical notch of the anal plate proximal part is slightly narrower than in the holotype, and the genital plate and genitalia as well as spermatophore are also insignificantly varied ( Figs 8–12 ). The male genitalia and spermatophore of the holotype are previously described and illustrated in the original description of A. analogica [ Gorochov, 2006: figs IX, 6–9).
