Habroteleia soa sp. n., female, holotype (CASENT 2136859). 77 Lateral habitus 78 Head and mesosoma, lateral view 79 Dorsal habitus 80 Head, anterior view 81T5 and T6, dorsal view. Etymology. The Malagasy word " soa " means "beautiful" or "excellent" . We apply it to this species because we find it to be both of these. The name is treated as a noun in apposition. Link to distribution map.

Habroteleia soa is the most geographically disjunct member of the genus, separated from the other species by the Indian Ocean. Despite this separation, it is not morphologically unusual in comparison with the other species, suggesting either that there is a relatively recent division between H. soa and the other species, that the morphology of the genus evolves rather slowly, or that there has been insufficient sampling in the intervening areas (e.g., east Africa, the moist southern part of the Arabian peninsula, India, and all other intervening regions).
