Diagnosis.
Condylostylus madagascarensis
belongs to the
C. burgeoni
species group (
Grichanov 2010
), close to
C. chainey
from
Madagascar
(Fort-Daufin). The latter differs from the new species in fore basitarsus 4 times longer than wide; mid tibia with 1 anterodorsal and 2–3 posterodorsal setae; cercus black, with rounded basal swelling covered with short ventral hairs. Males of
C. madagascarensis
have the fore basitarsus 5 times longer than wide; mid tibia without anterodorsal seta, with 1 posterodorsal seta; cercus yellow, black at base of swollen part, with elongate-ovate basal swelling covered with long ventral setae, about as long as width of swelling.
Description. Male
(
Fig. 5
). Body length
4.3 mm
; antenna length
0.9 mm
; wing length
3.5 mm
.

4+5
slightly curved to M
1
; M
1+2
straight in basal half, slightly convex anteriad in middle part; M
1
with nearly right-angular elbow, forming right angle with M
1+2
; ratio of parts of costa between R
2+3
and R
4+5
to those between R
4+5
and M
1
, 9/1; crossvein dm-m slightly convex; anal vein and lobe reduced; anal angle absent; lower calypter brownish, with fine yellow cilia; halter brownish with black knob.
