Genus Eucarlia Brölemann, 1913

Remarks. The status of the genus Eucarlia is still unresolved since the transfer of the four species known from the Seychelles to the Asian genus ( Golovatch & Korsós 1992). The variety shown by the different Eucarlia species in their anterior and posterior gonopods ( Golovatch & Gerlach 2010) indicates that more than one genus might be hiding behind the name. The species described below is the first record of the genus from Madagascar. The assignment of the new species to Eucarlia is tentative at best, given the unclear definition of the genus. However, as the only other alternative would be the description of a new monotypic genus—already the 16th of the family Pachybolidae known from Madagascar, the species described below is tentatively placed in Eucarlia .
