Abstract

Afrobaetodes lenae n. sp. is described at the larval stage. It represents the first report of Afrobaetodes in Madagascar and outside continental Africa. The species presents all the very peculiar apomorphies of Afrobaetodes. It is distinguished from the African species by the absence of tracheation on the abdominal gills and the absence of compact tufts of stout setae on the pronotum. Affinities and ecology are discussed.
