Notes -The studied type specimens without doubt are conspecific, showing a small variability in body size, punctation and sculpture. This species is quite distinct and can be diagnosed according to the characters mentioned in the above key. It is rather similar to A. (C.) peringueyi, including in structure of ovipositor (rather characteristic of species of the subgenus Ithyra Reitter, 1873 than those of Circopes), although the gonocoxites in females of this species in contrast to that of A. (C) peringueyi have not isolated apices, and also styli not inserted in subapical sinuations and edges of their apices behind styli not undulate. The truncate apex of penis trunk in this species is somewhat longer and wider than that in A. (C.) peringueyi. Besides, in comparison to the previous species, this species has wider and more robust body with size within 1.8-2.8 mm, brown integument and less raised pubescence. Subfamily Cillaeinae Notes - This subfamily needs a complete revision of all genera and species. This publication represents only a first preliminary step. All taxa used in this publication known to the author of it after reexamination of the type specimens and all new combinations here proposed are based on test of the characters of them, although the synonymy of species names will be published in another paper. Some species described as members of the genera here considered remain unknown to the author and do not listed in the composition of the genera (they should be regarded as incertae sedis) or listed with the sign "?". The rank of genus or subgenus treated here should be regarded as provisional till a revision of the genera of this subfamily from different regions. Here are included only Afro-Madagascan genera, however, it is reasonable to propose a new genus also for the fauna of the Western Hemisphere in order to make clear the interpretation of the genus Cillaeus LAPORTE, 1835, used in this publication (Tokocillaeusgen. n.). Besides, the genus
