Males only reach a length of 5 to 6 mm, with a yellow-brown sternum and a grey abdomen with white dots.[2]

Distribution

Name

Named after the vernacular of the extinct flightless bird from Mauritius, the dodo (Raphus cucullatus). These two species once shared their habitat, the increasingly rare native forests in Mauritius. The specific name, a noun in apposition, is meant to increase awareness of the need for urgent conservation of the Mauritius biota.[2]
