Abstract
A new epiphyllous Cololejeunea species is described from Nosy Komba Island of northwest Madagascar. Two varieties are distinguished, var. nosykombae and var. laevis. The species is distinguished by its acute, swallow-tail shaped perianth wings, unique in the genus, and by the special leaf dentition in its typical variety. The new species seems to be endemic to the small Nosy Komba Island. Conservation aspects are discussed and the new species is considered to be critically endangered.
