Cratocnema juxtacasum sp. n. 2 (Figs 1-10) Material examined (18 females). — Female holotype + one female paratype: Madagascar (=Malgasy), Rogez, Foret Côte Est, December 1930, leg. A. Seyrig. — Eleven female paratypes: Same locality, 4 females (one female in Budapest): September 1930, three females: January 1931, one female (in Budapest): February 1931, two females (one female in Budapest): February 1936, one female: May 1936, all leg. A. Seyrig. — One female paratype: Madagascar (=Malgasy), Maroantsera, November 1934, leg. Vadon (in Coll. Seyrig). — One female paratype: Madagascar (=Malgasy), Sainte-Marie (Coll. J. de Gaulle 1919). — One female paratype: Madagascar (=Malgasy), Baie d'Antongil, 1898, leg. A. Mocquerys. — One female paratype: Madagascar (-Malgasy), Tananarive, December 1931, leg. A. Seyrig. — One female paratype (in London): Madagascar (=Malgasy), Rogez, March 1931, leg. A. Seyrig. Remark. — The above type series (except one female from Malgasy: Rogez housed in London) originally belonged to that of C. leve, see further comments of it in the paragraph "Representing double type series" too. Depositories. — Female holotype and thirteen female paratypes are deposited in the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris; three female paratypes in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hym Typ. Nos 7898-7900; and one female paratype in The Natural History Museum, London. Etymology. — The species name "juxtacasum" indicates that the new species runs nearest to C. leve. Representing double type series. — The new species, Cratocnema juxtacasum, is described on the basis of seventeen (+ one) female specimens. These females originally served also for the description of C. leve by Granger in 1949, i.e. first they belonged to the type series of this species. The thorough examination of the full type series (42 females + 1 male) of C. leve resulted the recognition and discernment of the new species C. juxtacasum with the separation of seventeen female specimens as its type series. Consequently, C. leve becomes a restricted species since its seventeen females are representing double type series: first as part of C. leve and secondly as for C. juxtacasum. The detailed designation of the types see under these two species. Description of the female holotype. — Body 7 mm long. Antenna filiform and somewhat shorter than body, about 6-6.5 mm long and with 42 antennomeres. In lateral view scape rather globose, dorsally longer than ventrally (Fig. 1). Flagellum indistinctly attenuating, first flagellomere a bit longer than broad, further flagellomeres cubic and penultimate flagellomere 1.2 times as long as broad. — Head in dorsal view (Fig. 2) transverse, 1.8 times as broad as long, eye somewhat protruding and twice as long as temple, temple less receded, occiput excavated. Ocelli elliptic, near to each other, distance between two ocelli shorter than their longest diameter, OOL four times as long as POL. In lateral view eye 1.36 times as high as wide and twice as wide as temple, latter evenly broad beyond eye (Fig. 3). Malar space short, about one-fifth shorter than basal width of mandible. Horizontal diameter of oral opening twice as long as shortest distance between opening and eye. Face transverse, 1.4 times as wide as high. Head polished. Mesosoma in lateral view 1.4 times as long as high. Notaulix weakly distinct. Prescutellar furrow narrow, shallow, finely crenulate. Mesosoma entirely polished. — Hind femur 3.8 times as long as broad medially, hind tibia somewhat flattened and medio-longitudinally with a groove (Fig. 4, see arrow). Claw as in Fig. 8.
