Summary

The taxonomical study of the Coleoptera Chironidae of Madagascar is presented and illustrated. The principal publications concerning this family are reviewed, as well as previously presented hypotheses on the origin and biogeography of the Malagasy species. Recently Huchet (2000) reviewed the systematics of this family which resulted in the splitting of the genus Chiron Mac Leay, 1819 and two new genera and a new subgenus were described: Amphiceratodon Huchet, 2000, Theotimius (Theotimius) Huchet, 2000 et T. (Amaecylius) Huchet, 2000. Larval morphology of the genus Chiron is described and illustrated. A bilingual identification key to the genera and species of Malagasy Chironidae, as well as geographical distribution maps are presented.
