Description

Merma sp.

Material examined: “ Madagascar, Baie d’Antongil, A. Mocquerys 1897” (1 female, MNHN); “Madagascar” (1 female, MNHN).

Note. These two female specimens where not associated with any male specimen and couldn’t be reliably identified to species level. However, the specimen form Baie d’Antongil comes from distribution range of M. antakotako and potentially can represent a female of this species.
