ÁBRAHÁM, L. & DOBOSZ, D.: ANT-LION AND OWL-FLY FAUNA OF MADAGASCAR 113 L., Kisbenedek L., Wágner L.; 13 km SW from Agdz, 1050m, 16.06.2010. \<$ leg: Ábrahám L„ Kisbenedek L., Wágner L. Comment: Except for the type specimen, it has never been recorded from Madagascar. According to WEELE (1907) the type locality "Marocco" (Morocco) was a mislabelling and it was probably collected in Madagascar. Thus, Palpares martini as a new species for the fauna of Madagascar with an excellent illustration was published by WEELE (1907). However, his assumption of the recording place of the specimen was incorrect since it was really collected in Morocco and is conspecific with later described species of Palpares germaini Navás, 1919. KLAPÁLEK (1912) reported it as Palpares martini from Egypt, evenmore he was also skeptical about the collecting place of Palpares martini. BANKS (1913) did not examine the validity of type locality when compiled a key for African Palpares species with short remarks. This is a little known species (

ASPÖCK et al. 2001) spreading in Northern Africa from Morocco via Algeria and Tunisia (

GÜSTEN 2004) to Egypt (

KLAPÁLEK 1912). Distribution: It is not a member of the Malgassan neuropteran fauna. Fig. 1: Habitus of male of Palpares martini van der Weele, 1907 from Morocco
