Abstract
New Malagasy species of the genus Homilia McLachlan, 1877 (Trichoptera, Leptoceridae). Since the transfer of Homilia grandis Mosely, 1932, to the genus Ceraclea Stephens, 1829, no Homilia McLachlan, 1877, was currently known from Madagascar. We describe here seven new species: Homilia andratina n. sp., H. coppai n. sp., H. electra n. sp., H. elisae Gibon, n. sp., H. elodiae Gibon, n. sp., H. tacheti n. sp. et H. tiouchichineae n. sp. They are characterized by a mottled loss of sclerotization of the fourth article of the maxillary palps, so far only known and characteristic of the genus Ceraclea. These species are endemic to the island, their geographical distributions and ecological preferences are described and briefly discussed.
