Material examined — Holotype: Malgasy Republic, Toamasina Province. Peat forest and woodland often with thick Sphagnum layer on coastal white sand, with shallow lakes, between Ampangalanas Canal and the ocean, 5 km N of Andovoranto, between Andombo and Andovoa, at 10 m alt. 18°54.1'S, 49°7.24'E. Date: 24. Aug. 1998. No. 9887. Leg. T. Pócs. Holotype (1648-HO-99) deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM), Budapest, with identification numbers of the specimens in the Collection of Arachnida. Remarks — Without doubt the new species belongs to the genus Damaeolus Paoli, 1908. This genus was unknown from the Ethiopean region. The new species is well characterized by the sculpture of the notogaster and by the dilated notogastral setae. On the basis of the notogastral scupture it stands nearest maybe to D. cellulatus Subias, Ruiz et Kawhash, 1990, which also shows a celluate sculpture on the notogaster. However, the new species is distinguished from it and from the heretofore known Damaeolus species by the basally dilated notogastral setae.This feature is unique in this genus. Derivatio nominis — Named after the form of the notogastral sculpture. Figs 5-6: Damaeolus ocellatus sp. n. — Folia ent. hung. 61, 2000 5: body in dorsal view, 6: body in ventral view
