Afrotropical: Madagascar, Seychelles; Australasian: USA (Hawaiian Is.), Society Is., Marquesas Is., Guam, Palau; Oriental: China (Taiwan). First record from Burundi. Notes. Measurements (mm). Male body length 5.2, wing length 4.8, wing width 1.3, antenna length 3.5. Female body length 4.5, wing length 4.2, wing width 1.3, antenna length 2.9. Male femur, tibia and tarsomere (from first to fifth) length (mm): fore leg: 1.44 / 1.82 / 1.84 / 0.55 / 0.36 / 0.22 / 0.14, mid leg: 1.74 / 2.74 / 2.02 / 0.57 / 0.34 / 0.22 / 0.10, hind leg: 2.06 / 3.38 / 1.49 / 0.68 / 0.42 / 0.25 / 0.13. Female femur, tibia and tarsomere (from first to fifth) length (mm): fore leg: 1.26 / 1.69 / 1.51 / 0.49 / 0.37 / 0.19 / 0.15, mid leg: 1.43 / 2.08 / 1.56 / 0.48 / 0.31 / 0.16 / 0.12, hind leg: 1.64 / 2.78 / 1.19 / 0.5 4 / 0.34 / 0.21 / 0.14. A male of this species from the Silhouette Is. (Seychelles) was redescribed by Meuffels & Grootaert (2007) under the name Amblypsilopus sp. S 30. Bickel (1994) supposed that it was accidentally introduced to Polynesia and the Seychelles by human transport. The recent findings of the species in Burundi and Madagascar can be explained by the same reason. On the other hand, the Amblypsilopus pallidicornis species group is richer in species number on Madagascar (Grichanov 2021), than in Australasia and Orient (Bickel 1994). Therefore, A. pallidicornis is a possible founder of radiated species complexes evolved more than one million years ago in the Old World and Australasia. Despite the wide area of A. pallidicornis, it was figured only once by Hardy & Kohn (1964). The latter authors figured the hypopygium (fig. 61 h) incompletely, without long flattened inner seta at middle of cercus (Fig. 6 G, invisible in lateral view), somewhat shorter than capitate mid-ventral seta (Fig. 6 F); both setae are speciesspecific characters.	en	Grichanov, Igor Ya., Dubrovskiy, Dmitriy V.

AE1E8781FFF2FFF4FF4CFA09E12CFBDC.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Hercostomus storozhenkoi sp. nov. belongs to the H. nectarophagus species subgroup (Grichanov 2020 b) of the Hercostomus longiventris lineage (Brooks 2005) and keys to H. enghoffi Grichanov, 1999 and H. selikhovkini Grichanov, 1999 in Grichanov (2020 b), differing from the last two species in small size, fore tarsomeres length ratio and setation, shape of male cercus, etc. The male fore tarsomere 5 is black and as long as tarsomere 3 in H. storozhenkoi sp. nov., but white and 2 – 3 times longer than tarsomere 3 in H. enghoffi and H. selikhovkini.	en	Grichanov, Igor Ya., Dubrovskiy, Dmitriy V.
