Abstract: In the years 1992 and 1993, the Austrian entomologist Michael Madl collected
semiaquatic Hemiptera on Nosy Boraha (Île Sainte Marie), a small island near
the north-eastern coast of Madagascar. The collected material contains five
species of Rhagovelia Mayr, 1865, two of which are new to science. Both
Rhagovelia madli sp. nov. and Rhagovelia kalalaoensis sp. nov.
belong to the R. tesari species group. The other three species reported
from the island are R. madari Hoberlandt, 1941, R. reuteri
Hoberlandt, 1951, and R. tesari Hoberlandt, 1941.
