Abstract: |
|
| |
|
Some morphological
characteristic of Grosphus flavopiceus Kraepelin, 1900 are
revised. A new species, Grosphus ankarana sp. n., related to
G. flavopiceus, is described from the Ankarana Massif in the
province of Antsiranana (Diégo Suarez), Madagascar. The morphology of
the basal middle lamellae of the pectines is illustrated by using
scanning electron microscopy. A revised key to the 12 known species of
this genus is presented. |
