| Etymology |
The name is a compound of the Malagasy cardinal number iray, meaning one, and the Malagasy noun hady, meaning sulcus, ditch, or trench. It refers to the presence of a longitudinal sulcus on the anterior face of the mesobasitarsus, and the absence of a longitudinal sulcus on the anterior face of the metabasitarsus of that species. This is not unique among Stigmatomma species in the Malagasy bioregion, but distinguishes S. irayhady from the other two species most similar to it, Stigmatomma tsyhady and Stigmatomma roahady. |
