| Etymology |
The name is formed by the junction of the Malagasy cardinal number roa, meaning two, and the Malagasy name hady, meaning sulcus, ditch, and trench. The name roahady is a reference to the presence of a longitudinal sulcus on the anterior face of the mesobasitarsus and the anterior face of the metabasitarsus. The presence of a groove-like sulcus on the anterior face of the metabasitarsus is unique among Stigmatomma species in the Malagasy bioregion. |
