It is an endemic genus of Madagascar, easy to differentiate from the other genera present there, mainly thanks to its flattened shape (Soulier-Perkins &amp; Kunz 2012). A synthesis based on previous taxonomic descriptions and material examined is presented below:</p><p>HEAD. Vertex as broad as long. Anterior margin of head regularly rounded. Ocelli closer to each other than to compound eyes. Postclypeus with large longitudinal furrow.</p><p>THORAX. Pronotum as wide as long and dorsoventrally flattened, giving aspect easy to identify to insects from genus. Pronotum with few distinct dimples, not deep.

Most of its species are present in Madagascar. Lallemand proposed a refined description of this genus in 1912 based on the general body shape and wing venation (Lallemand 1912). He updated his description in 1949 by adding genitalia characters for males and females, but they remained too general to qualify them as characteristic for this genus (Lallemand 1949). The male genitalia have been described for only three species: L. altipeta Lallemand &amp; Synave, 1952; L. muscophila Lallemand &amp; Synave, 1952 and L. pauliani Lallemand &amp; Synave, 1952 (Lallemand &amp; Synave 1952). Hence, the description of the male genitalia for this genus is not presented in this publication. Moreover, some species, such as L. callosipenis (Signoret, 1860), seem to show morphological characters similar to the species now assigned to the new genus Soulierana Bucher &amp; Bouteille gen. nov. Nevertheless, types-specimen(s) were not consulted during this study and as a result, no taxonomic revisions have been made for these taxa. However, the lack of information for the genitalia characters highlights the need for further taxonomic studies. A synthesis based on the older descriptions for the Malagasy species is presented below:</p><p>HEAD. In dorsal view (Fig. 5A), head as wide as long. Ocelli closer to each other than to compound eyes and generally separated by carina, barely visible or even absent in some species (Fig. 5A, C); a carina can be observed on frons. Postclypeus with large furrow which can extend over its entire length, but not necessarily; lateral edges of furrow usually diffused (Fig. 5C). In some species, such as L. callosipennis (Signoret 1860), L. hovana Lallemand, 1949, L. madegassa Lallemand, 1949 and L. signata Jacobi, 1917, lateral part of postclypeus marked with two carina and deep furrow. Postclypeus striated laterally.</p><p>THORAX. Anterior margin of pronotum strongly declining; presence of a few dimples on anterior part. Scutellum longer than wide. Hindlegs with one spine on metatibiae.</p><p>TEGMINA. Tegmina longer than wide (Fig. 5A) in tapered shape, except for L. ochracea Jacobi, 1917, which possesses oval tegmina strongly rounded on posterior part.

It is known in Madagascar by three species. Stål (1866) initially described Locris in a very brief manner, making it impossible to currently determine the genus with his original publication. Lallemand proposed a refined description of this genus in 1949 on the basis of morphological characters that are not all completely consistent, according to Bouteille et al. (2021). It is true that in addition to a list of general characters supposed to describe the genus, Lallemand (1949) also listed a series of exceptions in order to include more species, probably making the genus paraphyletic. The homogeneity of this genus and its taxonomic unity is therefore questionable. Bouteille et al. (2021) revised the three Malagasy species of Locris and provided descriptions of their genitalia with new characters. Nevertheless, the lack of systematic information for the genitalic characters of the entire genus highlights the need for further taxonomic studies. A synthesis based on previous taxonomic descriptions and material examined is presented below:</p><p>HEAD. Postclypeus rounded in lateral view with longitudinal carina in median part and transverse ridges. Rostrum short, barely extending to base of median trochanter. Antennae short. Vertex as broad as long with length equal to half length of pronotum. Ocelli closer to each other than to compound eyes.</p><p>THORAX. Pronotum large with straight posterior margin. Scutellum as long as large with 3 dimples; 2 small dimples above anterior margin and a bigger one on median part. Hindlegs with one spine on metatibiae.</p><p>TEGMINA. Tegmina 3 times as long as wide. Cu and M linked from base to middle of tegmina. Apical veins form dense network on apex.</p><p>MALE GENITALIA. No sterno-lateral plates. Subgenital plates wide and sometimes silky at base, forming thin and long filament (Lallemand 1949) curved up or downwards on its apical half. Parameres silky and wide from pygofer’s attachment to its tip and they can form a cup prolonged by one or two structures that can have a little spine curved up- or downwards (Bouteille et al. 2021). Aedeagus can have little bumps on top. Apex with hanging structure (Bouteille et al. 2021) which varies in size and shape, with presence in many species of bifid branch connected in middle. Apex sometimes silky and wider than rest of aedeagus (Bouteille et al. 2021).</p><p>Distribution (Fig. 6)</p><p>Tropical Africa, South Africa and Madagascar.</p><p>Number of species: 87, 3 in Madagascar.</p><p>Locris bipunctata (Signoret, 1860)</p><p>Locris bipunctata bipunctata (Signoret, 1860)</p><p>Locris bipunctata atra (Lallemand, 1950)</p><p>Locris nigrolimbata (Lallemand, 1910)</p><p>Locris vicina (Signoret, 1860)</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E8713702D11DFFAD92D5B4EEFDDDFE59	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Only two female specimens were placed under the pinned label of Monecphora rugosa, with no supernumerary pinholes, suggesting that only these two specimens were considered to be the types.
