Madaglymbus Shaverdo & Balke, 2008
Remark.
Madaglymbus was erected for the Madagascar species of Aglymbus Sharp, 1880 by Shaverdo et al. (2008). After Ranarilalatiana et al. (in press) transferred two Copelatus species to Madaglymbus , and including the three species described below, fifteen species and one subspecies are currently known from Madagascar and Comoros (see checklist below and Nilsson and Hájek 2019). We are constantly finding new species of this genus when collecting across Madagascar and it is premature to present a preliminary checklist including what is known but yet to be described. Revisionary work has been initiated with collegues and type material of all described species consulted directly or indirectly. The three species described below may not form a monophyletic group within the genus. They are described here in advance of a more complete revision of Madaglymbus as enigmatic representatives with the terrestrial habitats where they were collected in common.
