Description

FIGURES 10–15. Habitat of Canthyporus reebae sp. nov. (10) Pond with Nymphaeaceae plants, with peat bog on the margins (Sphagnum spp. and Drosera madagascariensis), close to the N7 road between Ambositra and Fianarantsoa (ca. 3.5 km S Ambalamanakana; altitude 1,700 m). This place is the type locality of the new species. The specimens of C. reebae were taken towards the bottom right corner of the photo, in the grass, close to the end of a small stream with slowly-flowing water (not visible on the photo). (11) Grassy meadow surrounded by forest, in the Andringitra massif (ca 2.5 km SSW Antanifotsy; altitude 1,600 m). The specimens were taken towards the centre-right of the photo, in water slowly seeping through the grass, as shown in the close-up view in (12). The substrate was very muddy. (13) Brooklet with very slowly flowing clear water, with dense grass (Andringitra massif, ca. 2.3 km SW Antanifotsy; altitude 1,580 m). (14) Small slowly-flowing brook in wet grassland above tree line in the Andringitra massif (ca 4.3 km SW Antanifotsy; altitude 1,990 m). (15) Close-up view corresponding to the centre-right area of (14).
