CARPENTER & M. MADL1 A b s t r a c t : We record 120 species and four subspecies of the family Vespidae from the Malagasy Subregion. The subfamily Eumeninae is represented by 44 species and four subspecies in 21 genera and the subfamily Polistinae by 67 species in three genera. The generic position of nine species is still unknown. New records for the islands of the southwest Indian Ocean are provided. Odynerus farquharensis CAMERON 1907 is transferred to the genus Knemodynerus BLÜTHGEN 1940 and Epiodynerus grandidieri limbatulus GIORDANI SOIKA 1991 to the genus Anterhynchium de SAUSSURE 1863, new combinations. K e y w o r d s : Vespidae, Malagasy Subregion, catalogue, taxonomy, new records. Introduction The Malagasy Subregion consists of a number of islands of quite different origins. Madagascar and the Seychelles (Inner Seychelles) are continental, while other islands are oceanic islands of volcanic (Comoros, Mayotte, Réunion, Mauritius, Rodrigues) or coralline origin (e. g. Aldabra, Amirantes, Agalega). These islands moreover show a greater range of ages than most other island regions. This diversity of islands, and the complex effects of land separation, emergence and habitat isolation, is responsible for an extraordinary biodiversity in the region, which is both largely endemic and highly threatened (habitat loss, invasive species). Inventory of the biota is an urgent priority, but is hampered by the scattered literature in many taxa. The wasp family Vespidae exemplifies these points. Madagascar is notable for a high concentration of the social wasp genera Belonogaster de SAUSSURE 1854 and Ropalidia GUÉRIN-MÉNEVILLE 1831 and these taxa have received considerable attention, as documented herein. But the solitary wasps of the subfamily Eumeninae have never seen a comprehensive treatment, and this is by far the most diverse part of the Vespidae worldwide. The aim of this catalogue is to bring together all the fragmentary literature on the family, thereby providing a summary that can serve as the basis for future progress in the knowledge of the group. In addition scientists should consult the catalogue of the Ethiopian Eumeninae compiled by Carpenter, Gusenleitner and Madl, of which the first part has already been published (CARPENTER et al. 2009). 1 This paper is dedicated to Josef Gusenleitner on the occasion of his 80th birthday, in thanks for collaboration over many years. © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at 1872 How to use the catalogue The catalogue is organized alphabetically. Subgenera are in brackets. Synonyms, misidentifications and identifications to genus level are marked with an asterisk. Printing errors are marked (!). The islands belonging to France are mentioned under Réunion (e.g. Réunion, Glorieuses) with the exception of Mayotte.

Zusammenfassung Zur Zeit sind von der Familie Vespidae 120 Arten und vier Unterarten aus der Madagassis bekannt. Die Unterfamilie Eumeninae ist mit 44 Arten und vier Unterarten in 21 Gattungen vertreten und die Unterfamilie Polistinae mit 67 Arten in drei Gattungen. Die generische Zugehörigkeit von neun Arten muss noch geklärt werden. Odynerus farquharensis CAMERON 1907 wird in die Gattung Knemodynerus BLÜTHGEN 1940 gestellt und Epiodynerus grandidieri limbatulus GIORDANI SOIKA 1991 in die Gattung Anterhynchium de SAUSSURE 1863, neue Kombinationen. Neue Funddaten für die Inseln des südwestlichen Indischen Ozeans werden mitgeteilt. References References marked with an asterik are not cited in the catalogue, but contain information about wasps.
