Abstract

A new species of shrew tenrec in the genus Microgale is described from a series of 12 specimens taken on the southwestern slopes of the Tsaratanana Massif in northern Madagascar and is named M. jobihely. This new species is distinguished from other named members of this endemic genus by a variety of mensural and discrete morphological characters. Phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial ND2 gene supports its recognition as a distinct species and suggests a sister relationship with the much more widespread M. cowani. Microgale jobihely appears to be the only member of this genus to be a very localized endemic and a biogeographic scenario is presented to explain this observation. It is currently known from a small area of forest, outside of the protected areas system, that is faced with considerable anthropogenic pressure.
