Abstract
The present account treats the species of the subfamily Aleocharinae from Madagascar, collected by Dr. L. Bartolozzi and Dr. S. Taiti (Museo Zoologico «La Specola» and Centro S.F.E.T. of C.N.R., Florence). After some historical notes, eight genera and thirteen species are listed.Ditropandria Pace is raised to full generic rank from its former status as a subgenus ofHoplandria Kraatz. One subgenus ofDitropandria and 10 species are described as new, belonging to the following genera:Linoglossa Kraatz (1),Diestota Mulsant and Rey (1),Tomoxelia Bernhauer (1),Madecazyras Scheerpeltz (1),Pseudacrotona Cameron (3),Ditropandria Pace (3).

Riassunto
