Micrapion flavocinctum (Kieffer) comb. n. 



Callismicra flavocincta Kieffer, 1905 : 248-249, fig. 3, £. LECTOTYPE g (here designated), 



Madagascar: Nossi-Be Island (MNHN, Paris) [examined]. 

 Micrapion madecassum Steffan, 1948 : 86-88, figs ia-id, 9 6*- LECTOTYPE 9 (here designated), 



Madagascar: Bekily (MNHN, Paris) [examined]. Syn. n. 



C. flavocincta. Two original specimens, one badly damaged but better fitting 

 the description, therefore selected as lectotype; the well preserved paralectotype 

 has a yellow band on the scutellar apex, not mentioned in the original description. 



M. madecassum. From the original three females and three males one female 

 and one male were labelled as 'types', the rest as paratypes; the female 'type' is 

 designated as lectotype. 



Steffan's good illustrated description together with the above key and the fact 

 that this is the only species known from Madagascar should be sufficient for a 

 safe recognition of the species. Otherwise M. flavocinctum is very close to M. 

 clavaforme. 



Biology. No host record known. 



Distribution. Madagascar. 



Material examined. 



Type data given in synonymy. 



Madagascar: paralectotypes of C. flavocincta and M. madecassum, 3 9» 3 3

Micrapion punctulatum sp. n. 



(Text-fig. 253) 



9- 7 - 5 mm. Very similar to M. clavaforme Steffan but differing in following characters. 

 Yellow markings include narrow lateral lines on mesoscutum, upper tip of metapleurum, 

 arrow-shaped spot on first tergite anteriorly, other two bands on gaster rather narrow but that
