latter ones arising on the lamellar surface. Sensillus directed forwards, gradually widened distally, well ciliated bilaterally. Interlamellar region without any structure. Lateral part of prodorsum: Rostrum characteristically beak shaped in lateral view (Fig. 11). Tutorium very large, triangular. A pair of curved, horn-shaped structure visible, they originate from the basis of the lamellae and consists of secretion forming hornlike jointed tube. Pedotecta 1 also vey large, its anterior margin striated or wrinkled. Surface of pedotecta 2-3 with some marginal wrinkles. Discidium also large, triangular. Above the acetabula of legs II-IV a large granulate surface observable. A distinct circumpedal carina present. Notogaster: Dorsosejugal suture convex but interrupted medially. Pteromorphae (Fig. 10) simple, triangular, with some transversal and 1-2 longitudinal wrinkles. Fossa marginális distinct. Notogastral surface ornamented by a characteristic pattern consisting of small granules (Fig. 8) arranged in longitudinal and transversal bands. Its form resembles a hip-bone, like in the related species: M. nosybe Mahunka, 1993. Nine pairs of short and thin notogatsral setae present, no essential difference among them. Ventral side: Gnathosoma typical. Eupathidium of the palps setiform, scattered over the palptarsus. Epimeral surface smooth, with some granulation on the sejugal borders IV laterally. Apodemes and epimeral borders - excepting bo. 4 - weakly developed or indistinct, bo. 4 composing a complete transversal band. The characteristic longitudinal, thin sternal border well observable. Lateral frame of the coxisternal region distinctly developed (Fig. 9). Epimeral setal formula: 3 - 1- 3 - 3, all setae thin and simple. Setae 1c originating conspicuously far posteriorly, behind setae la. Genital and anal aperture framed by a distinct line. Circumpedal carinae well developed. All anogenital setae also simple, their formula: 6-1-4-3. Lyrifissures iad normal. Legs: Typical for the genus. Trochanter and femur of legs III and IV with a wide blade-like formation (keel) ventrally. Setae d of femora II-IV spiniform, wide. Material examined — Holotype: Malagasy Republic, Toamasina Province. Maromizaha forest. Mossy montane rainforest with bamboo (Nastus sp.) undergrowth on the summit ridge of Mt. Maromizaha, south of the Andasibe Nat. Park and the Antananariv ? Toamasina road, 2 km W of Anevoka village, at 1080-1214 m alt. 18°57.8'S, 48*27.5'E. Date: 26. August 1998. Leg. T. Pócs. No. 9890, 3 paratype: from the same sample. Holotype (1635-HO-99) and 2 paratypes (1635-PO-99) deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM) Budapest, with identification numbers of the specimens in the Collection of Arachnida, 1 paratype in the Musée d'Histoire naturelle, Geneva (MHNG). Remarks — On the basis of the main characters, like the lamellar structures, the shape of the sensillus, the new species belongs to the genus Magoebazetes Engelbrecht, 1972. The new species is well characterised by the ornamentation of the notogaster. Similar notogastral ornamentation is known in the species of Megazetes nosybe Mahunka, 1993 described from Madagascar. Having again studied the type it was revealed that two species are close relatives, and nosybe was erroneously relegated in the genus Megazetes Balogh, 1959, although, the two genera are unequivocally relatives. Consequently, I transfer the species nosybe into Magoebazetes Engelbrecht, 1972, [Megazetes nosybe Mahunka, 1993 = Magoebazetes nosybe (Mahunka, 1993)]. The new species stands very near to nosybe, however the new species is well distinguished from the latter by the form of the sensillus (clavate in nosybe), the form of the interlamellar field (much wider in nosybe) and the presence of the horn-shaped structure under the lamellae (absent in nosybe).
