The island nation of Madagascar was surveyed extensively through a series of expeditions to determine the fauna of Naucoridae. Previously, 17 species in four genera had been reported from the country. All taxa previously recorded from Madagascar were re-collected, with the exception of three species, Macrocoris flavicollis Signoret, Temnocoris starmuhlneri Poisson, and Tsingala nossibeanus (Bergroth). Macrocoris flavicollis is removed from the list of species occurring in Madagascar. Within Laccocorini (Laccocorinae), a new genus, Gonioathrix n.gen. is described; Temnocoris and Tsingala are revised; three new species are described in Temnocoris (T. leachi n.sp., T. montandoni n.sp., T. poissoni n.sp.) and four in Tsingala (T. angulata n.sp., T. latiforma n.sp., T. spatulata n.sp., T. trilobata n.sp.). Lectotypes are designated for Afronaucoris madagascariensis (Montandon), Tsingala humeralis (Signoret), and T. naucoroides (Montandon). In Macrocorinae, a new species of Macrocoris, M. namorona n.sp., from Ranomafana National Park is described. These taxonomic actions bring the total for the country to five genera and 25 species. Distributions, habitat associations, and a key to the species are presented.
马达加斯加岛进行了广泛的调查,通过一系列考察来确定 Naucoridae 科的动物群。此前,该国已报告了四个属的 17 个物种。除了 Macrocoris flavicollis Signoret、Temnocoris starmuhlneri Poisson 和 Tsingala nossibeanus (Bergroth) 这三个物种外,所有以前在马达加斯加记录的分类群都被重新采集。Macrocoris flavicollis 已从在马达加斯加发生的物种列表中删除。在 Laccocorini 属(Laccocorinae)中,描述了一个新属,Gonioathrix n.gen.;对 Temnocoris 和 Tsingala 进行了修订;在 Temnocoris 中描述了三个新物种(T. leachi n.sp.、T. montandoni n.sp.、T. poissoni n.sp.),在 Tsingala 中描述了四个新物种(T. angulata n.sp.、T. latiforma n.sp.、T. spatulata n.sp.、T. trilobata n.sp.)。为 Afronaucoris madagascariensis (Montandon)、Tsingala humeralis (Signoret) 和 T. naucoroides (Montandon) 指定了模式种。在 Macrocorinae 科中,描述了来自 Ranomafana 国家公园的一种 Macrocoris 新种,M. namorona n.sp.。这些分类学行动使该国的属总数达到五个,物种总数达到 25 个。介绍了分布、生境关联和物种的关键特征。
