Comments.

Dinapsis hirtipes is known only from the type- locality at Ivondro, Madagascar. Ivondro is located in the Atsimo-Atsinanana region. Dinapsis hirtipes is a distinctive species with a raised (crested) vertex (Fig. 13C, E View Figure 13 ) and banded wings (Fig. 13F View Figure 13 ). When it was described by Hedqvist (1967) it was the only known megalyrid with this distinctive crested head shape. Mita and Shaw (2020) assigned it to the Dinapsis hirtipes species group with five other new species described in their revision, all of which can be distinguished using the key in this paper, or the key in Mita and Shaw (2020). For a full species description and more information on its distribution and distinguishing characteristics, see Mita and Shaw (2020).
