Six new species of Lonchaeidae in two genera are described from\ the island of Madagascar: Dasiops kaplani n. sp., Dasiops pencila
n. sp., Silba andasibe n. sp., Silba longigonite n. sp., Silba\ macrogonite\ n. sp. and Silba setigonite n. sp. One species new to
Madagascar\—\ Silba virescens Macquart, 1851\—is recorded, and\ previous\ records from the islands are re-evaluated. The known
fauna now numbers 12 species in three genera. A key is provided\ to all the Lonchaeidae species presently known from the island.
The presence of further undescribed species of Lonchaea Fall\én,\ 1820 and Dasiops Rondani, 1856 is noted.
