Abstract

Malagasotingis ursulae gen. et sp. nov. from Madagascar is described, illustrated and compared with its relatives. Moreover, the Oriental genus Tanytingis (Drake, 1939) is transferred to the tribe Litadeini on the basis of the tarsal structure of its species, and the Froeschner’s (2001) key to genera of the tribe is modified to include all its presently known taxa.
