Abstract

Abstract The female of Hersilia moheliensis Foord & Dippenaar- Schoemann, 2006 is described for the first time. The species is newly recorded from Madagascar, having previously been known from only a single specimen from the Comoros. Additionally, we provide new records of Hersilia insulana Strand, 1907 in Madagascar.
