Abstract: Malgadrymus Zámbó & Kondorosy, gen. nov., the first endemic genus of
Drymini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha: Lygaeoidea: Rhyparochromidae:
Rhyparochrominae), with two new species is described from Madagascar. A key to
the species is provided and relationships to other drymine genera are discussed.
Appolonius madagascariensis Zám- bó & Kondorosy, sp. nov., the first
member of the genus from the island, is described from Madagascar. A list of
Malagasy Drymini, including 5 genera and 16 species (3 undescribed), and a
key to the genera from Madagascar are given. We provide new distribution data
for the following species: Salaciola acutangulata Slater, 1994, Salaciola
caliginosa Slater, 1989, Salaciola nana Bergroth, 1906, Salaciola signaticornis
Linnavuori, 1978, Sinierus capensis Dallas, 1852, and Sinierus nudus Scudder,
1984. Salaciola nana is also recorded from the Republic of the Congo for the
first time.
