First records of Hippasosa ghost (Jocque & Jocqué, 2017) (Araneae, Lycosidae) outside of the type locality in northwestern Madagascar

Article scientifique 2025 Anglais

Résumé

The Malagasy endemic wolf spider Hippasosa ghost (Jocque & Jocqué, 2017), previously known from a single small patch of sandy habitat adjacent to a permanent lake in the Mariarano Classified Forest in northwestern Madagascar, is recorded from two additional localities with similar habitat along the Mariarano River, 10 km and 45 km from the type locality. These finds indicate the possibility that this highly specialized species could have a larger distribution than originally thought, but also they show the importance of protecting such vulnerable habitats.
