The endemic Madagascan genera Oncodopus Brongniart and Colossopus Saussure are revised using museum specimens, including the types, and recently collected material. A new genus, Malagasopus gen. nov., and seven new species, Malagasopus desutterae sp. nov., Malagasopus meridianus sp. nov., Oncodopus janetae sp. nov., Oncodopus brongniarti sp. nov., Oncodopus saussurei sp. nov., Oncodopus soalalaensis sp. nov. and Colossopus parvicavus sp. nov. are described. Lectotypes are designated for Oncodopus zonatus Brongniart, 1897 and Colossopus redtenbacheri (Brongniart, 1897). A new term, mesothoracic auricle, is proposed for a structure on the episternum of the mesothorax. A tabulated key to the genera and keys to the species are presented. All species are described and diagnosed, and their phylogenetic relationships, geographical distributions, habitat preferences and phenologies are documented. The life history of Colossopus grandidieri is described, and the unusual possible mate-guarding behaviour of several species is discussed. Maps showing the distribution of the species are presented, as too are 57 photographs of museum specimens, 51 drawings of morphological characters, 17 photographs of living specimens and one habitat photograph.
利用博物馆标本，包括模式标本，以及最近采集的材料，对马达加斯加特有的Oncodopus Brongniart属和Colossopus Saussure属进行了修订。描述了一个新属Malagasopus gen. nov.，以及七个新物种，即Malagasopus desutterae sp. nov.、Malagasopus meridianus sp. nov.、Oncodopus janetae sp. nov.、Oncodopus brongniarti sp. nov.、Oncodopus saussurei sp. nov.、Oncodopus soalalaensis sp. nov.和Colossopus parvicavus sp. nov.。为1897年的Oncodopus zonatus Brongniart和（1897年的）Colossopus redtenbacheri指定了选模。为中胸腹板上的一个结构提出了一个新术语“中胸叶”。列出了属的检索表和种的检索表。对所有物种进行了描述和诊断，并记录了它们的系统发育关系、地理分布、栖息地偏好和物候。描述了Colossopus grandidieri的生活史，并讨论了几种物种不寻常的可能的护偶行为。给出了显示物种分布的地图，还有57张博物馆标本照片、51张形态特征图、17张活体标本照片和1张栖息地照片。
