Cyrtolabulus parvulus Selis. A 2024
Cyrtolabulus parvulus Selis, 2024 (Figs 28, 63P) Cyrtolabulus parvulus Selis, 2024: 66, 70, 74, 85 (key), figs 5, 6, 12 (distribution), 13L, ♂, ♀ —“ MADAGASKAR: TULÉAR / Tuléar-Morombe / PK 32 (S.I.B.)” (holotype male NHMW). Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: ♂ labelled “ MADAGASKAR: TULÉAR / Tuléar-Morombe / PK 32 (S.I.B.) / 21.–23. V.97, MADL // Cyrtolabulus / bekilyensis (G.S.) ♂ / J.Gusenleitner,det.2005 // NHMW // Cyrtolabulus parvulus / HOLOTYPUS ♂ / Det. Marco Selis [red label]” (NHMW). PARATYPES: same data as holotype, 1♀ (NHMW); Toliara, Sarodrano, 26. V.1998, leg. M. Madl, 1♀ (NHMW); Tuléar, 32km N Tulear (S.I.B.), 24.X.1996, leg. M. Madl, 1♀ (NHMW). Distribution. Madagascar: Toliara (Gusenleitner 2005; Selis 2024) (Fig. 63P). Notes. Specimens from a relatively restricted coastal area in southwestern Madagascar (Androimpano Forest and Mitoho Forest) show some differences from specimens from other areas, in particular the much broader pale yellow markings (Fig. 28B) and the much finer sculpture of the metasoma, especially on T1 which is very shiny and with sparse fine punctures (Fig. 28C). Morphological comparison, both of external characters and male genitalia, did not reveal any obvious difference, so these specimens are at least momentarily considered a local form of Cyrtolabulus parvulus.
