摘要: The genus Malgasodes is redefined; the type species M. curvisetus Mahunka, 2000, redescribed by means of studies using optic and Scanning Electron Microsopy (SEM), a complementary description hungarorum 2000 included. Comparison genera Bovicarabodes Fernandez, Theron, Rollard, 2013a, Cavaecarabodes Rodriguez Castillo, 2014, Afticarabodes 2013b, Congocepheus Balogh, 1958 made. Problems concerning chaetotaxy, regressive evolution neotrichy are explained phylogenetic relationships between Malgasodes, Bovicarabodes, Afticarabodes, discussed.
