Biology.
Unknown
Distribution
. Central east
Madagascar
(
Fig. 9
).
Etymology.
It is named after the
type
locality,
Madagascar
.
Remarks.
In his catalogue,
Gorczyca (2006)
listed eight
Cylapinae
species from Madagascar. In addition to the two newly described species, we found a specimen of
Fulvius anthocoroides
(
Reuter, 1875
)
in the collection of the Moravian Museum in Brno bearing the following label data: “West
MADAGASCAR
\ nr. KIRINDI N.P., Andranomena \ Spec. Res.;

(Andranovory \ nampela);
S20°08'52''
E44°30'52''
\

; M. Trýzna lgt.”. Currently, a total of 11 species (including eight endemic) are known from Madagascar.
