Drymini of Madagascar, with description of a new genus and three new species (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae)

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 Zámbó & 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.
