Abstract
Based on a large collection of material from the East Coast of Madagascar, we redescribe the endemic genus and species Manohyphellakeiseri Allen, 1973. The male imago is described for the first time and details on the nymphal stage is provided, especially on the gill formula. The species Manohyphellaanimosa McCafferty & Benstead, 2002 and Manohyphellasphyxia McCafferty & Benstead, 2002 are considered as subjective junior synonyms of Manohyphellakeiseri Allen, 1973. Notes on the life cycle of the species in the Andasibe area is presented, as well as data about the density of the populations. Manohyphellakeiseri is an inhabitant of pristine running waters in rainforests and is therefore a good indicator for habitat quality.
期刊介绍：
African Invertebrates is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal that focuses primarily on the taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, and palaeontology of Afrotropical invertebrates, whether terrestrial, freshwater or marine. Aspects concerning biology, ecology, and conservation may also be considered where these relate to the primary focus areas. Papers dealing solely with biology, ecology, physiology, pests and pest control should be submitted elsewhere.
