Hildebrandtina variegata Weise, 1910b: 465 (Madagascar), by original designation. Distribution. Madagascar (Fig. 323). Ecology. No information. Notes. This genus, with about ten species known to occur in Madagascar, was transferred from the subfamily Galerucinae to the Alticinae (currently the tribe Alticini ) by Biondi and D'Alessandro (2010a) . The reason being the presence of a metafemoral spring, very similar to that described for the Oriental genus Mandarella Duvivier (1892b: 433) (cf. Furth and Suzuki 1994 ).
