ÁBRAHÁM L. & DOBOSZ D.: Contribution to the ant-lion and owl-fly fauna of Madagascar with description new taxa (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae, Ascalaphidae)
ÁBRAHÁM, L. & DOBOSZ, D.: ANT-LION AND OWL-FLY FAUNA OF MADAGASCAR 115 HANDSCHIN 1963, PENNY 2003) reported it from Madagascar and NEEDHAM (1913) described a closely related species (Acanthaclisis maritimus Needham, 1913) from Aldabra (Seychelles) near to Madagascar. Based on its original description (FRASER 1955), Synclisis cryptica Fraser, 1955 may belong the genus of Syngenes with a long processus of ectoproct but its costal area is completely biareolate. So far, it has been known only from Madagascar. Distribution: Prov. Toamasina, Toliara. Fadrina ruf a Navás, 1912 Fadrina rufa Navás, 1912 Navás 1912c (Odescr). Material examined: In Coll. SCMK: Prov. Fianarantsoa, Camp Catta 40 km S Ambalavao 810m, 26.11.-02.12.2003. 2<$ leg. S. Murzin & A. Shamaev. Comment: This species lives in African humid equatorial and sub-equatorial area (PROST 1998). Further unpublished data from coll: SCMK - Madagascar, Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania and Ghana. Fadrina clementi (Fraser, 1951) was described from Madagascar, however, its taxonomical status should be revised. The original combination was designated into a new genus Synclisis as the type species of Synclisis dementi Fraser, 1951 but it is a junior homonym of Synclisis Navás, 1919. HANDSCHIN (1963) mentioned a faunistic record of Fadrina nigra Navás, 1912 from Madagascar but this species lives rather in Saharan zone ( GÜSTEN 2003). Distribution: Prov. Fianarantsoa. It is a new species for the Malgassan fauna.

Centroclisis felina (Gerstaecker, 1885) Gerstaecker 1885 (Odescr), Esben-Petersen 1928 (Comb), Stange 2004 (Mon). Material examined: In Coll. USMB: Prov. Fianarantsoa, Ranomafana, 24.02.-1.03.1995 \S leg. Ivo Jenis (det. V. Krivokhatsky) (USMB 5858/706), Prov. Antsiranana, Ambohitra env., 20-26.12.2002 1<S Lgt. Mrácek (USMB 5858/506). Comment: It is the largest Centroclisis species in South East Africa and Madagascar. Sogra superba Navás, 1912 was also synonymised by BANKS (1913) to Centroclisis felina (Gerstaecker, 1885). Based on the description Centroclisis dyscola Navás, 1933 from Madagascar is a very similar species to Centroclisis felina that is why it should be revised in the future. Otherwise, all Centroclisis species known from Eastern Africa need to be revised since C. distincta cited from many places eg. WEELE (1909b), ESBEN-PETERSEN 1916, PENNY 2006 from Madagascar and all over and out side of Africa ( STANGE 2004) but PROST (1998) supposed that it lives only in Central and West Africa. Probably, its records from Madagascar are based on misidentification. Distribution: Antsiranana, Fianarantsoa, Toliara.
