Malasigalphus van Achterberg & Austin 1992

Genus Malasigalphus van Achterberg & Austin, 1992 Type species: Malasigalphus petiolaris van Achterberg & Austin, 1992. van Achterberg & Austin 1992: 10; Quicke et al. 2008: 2709; Yu et al. 2016. This small sigalphine genus is distributed only in the fauna of Madagascar. The type species, M. petiolaris van Achterberg & Austin, was described from Cape d’Ambre, the most northerly part of this island. A second species of this genus, M. roa Sharkey, 2008, was already described from Parc National Andohahela, Tolear Province (southwestern Madagascar), and was collected in Malaise trap in dry spiny forest (Quicke et al. 2008). I herein describe a third Malasigalphus species, collected in Massif du Makay, Toliar Province.

Abstract

Genus Malasigalphus van Achterberg & Austin, 1992 Type species: Malasigalphus petiolaris van Achterberg & Austin, 1992. van Achterberg & Austin 1992: 10; Quicke et al. 2008: 2709; Yu et al. 2016. This small sigalphine genus is distributed only in the fauna of Madagascar. The type species, M. petiolaris van Achterberg & Austin, was described from Cape d’Ambre, the most northerly part of this island. A second species of this genus, M. roa Sharkey, 2008, was already described from Parc National Andohahela, Tolear Province (southwestern Madagascar), and was collected in Malaise trap in dry spiny forest (Quicke et al. 2008). I herein describe a third Malasigalphus species, collected in Massif du Makay, Toliar Province.
