Abstract
A new species Apatenia kuntei Trýzna & Rakotonirina sp. nov. (Anthribidae: Anthribinae: Platyrhinini) from the Ambohitantely Special Reserve in central Madagascar is described. Male and female genitalia are studied and illustrated. A key to all Malagasy Apatenia species is provided. Colour photographs, notes on the distribution and ecological notes on another four rare Malagasy Apatenia species are added. The decrease of the anthribid diversity due to fires and the spreading of expansive plants in the Ambohitantely Special Reserve is discussed.
