Millipedes of the family Siphonorhinidae Cook, 1895, famous for including the leggiest animal on this planet until recently, with up to 750 legs, show a disjunct distribution in California, South Africa and South-East Asia (from India to the Indonesian Islands of Java and Flores). Here I formally describe the first members of the family from Madagascar, Madagascarhinus madagascariensis n. gen., n. sp. and Madagascarhinus andasibensis n. gen., n. sp., from degraded central highland rainforests. Both species of Madagascarhinus n. gen. are relatively short (61 or 63 tergites), setose, pale and slender, and differ from the other known five genera of the family in numerous characters of the antennae, head, and tergites.
蜚蠊目 Siphonorhinidae 科的千足虫，以拥有这颗星球上曾经最多的腿而闻名，其腿数多达 750 条，分布范围却十分局限，主要集中在加利福尼亚、南非和东南亚（从印度到印度尼西亚的爪哇岛和弗洛雷斯岛）。在此，我正式描述了来自马达加斯加的该科的第一个成员，马达加斯加新属，马达加斯加足蠊属，新种和马达加斯加蠊属，安德西蠊属，新种，它们都生活在退化的中央高地雨林中。马达加斯加新属的两个种都相对较短（61 或 63 个体节），多刚毛，体色浅，身体细长，与其他已知的该科的五个属在触角、头部和体节等诸多特征上都有所不同。
