Paramere dark orange.</p> <p>Antenna with 28 antennomeres, otherwise similar to female. Paramere oval, about 1.4 × as long as broad, broadly rounded at apex (Fig. 13).</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Madagascar: Antsiranana.</p> <p>Remarks.</p> <p>The status of this species has been questionable. Carmean and Kimsey (1998) thought that it might be only a large form of Orthogonalys hova. Benoit (1951) described the species from a single female. He separated Orthogonalys gigantea from Orthogonalys hova by its large size (14 mm) and by the following: teeth of mandibles broad but not very long, the inferior tooth directed downwards; clypeus very thickened; antennal sockets closer together; punctation of scutellum sparser but stronger; propodeum broader than long, with transverse carinae complete and regular (not tangled and less strong); color identical except the white “atténué” on the head and sides of abdomen. We have not seen additional females but have examined one male that compares in color and structure with the holotype female and was collected not far from the type locality, and we consider them to be the same species.</p> <p>After study of both sexes, we note a number of characters that justify treating Orthogonalys gigantea as a valid species. Size cannot be regarded as a valid character in trigonalids. However, in comparison to Orthogonalys hova, the specimens examined are consistently larger. The female holotype of Orthogonalys gigantea is 14 mm and the male is 15 mm, whereas the largest Orthogonalys hova female is 9 mm and males 5.0-9.5 mm, with most in the 7 mm range. We are not sure about the clypeus, mandible, punctation of the scutellum, and closeness of the antennal sockets as Benoit described; these do not seem significant. However, we emphasize the following characters: the sculpture of the propodeum of Orthogonalys gigantea is more transverse (Fig. 10) than the more reticulate sculpture of Orthogonalys hova (Fig. 16) and other Orthogonalys species; the color of both are similar, except that Orthogonalys gigantea has the metascutellum yellow and the male has the metasomal tergites mostly black whereas the metascutellum of Orthogonalys hova is orange and the metasomal tergites of the male are considerably orange; and the parameres of Orthogonalys gigantea are dark orange and rounded at the apex (Fig. 13), whereas those of Orthogonalys hova are white and more acute at the apex (Fig. 20).</p> <p>This species is known only from northern Madagascar. The holotype and associated male were collected in the same area, around Diego Suarez, the two localities only about 50 km apart.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/40B5DDCDB40E7AB2F15DC62B4D03BA52	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Orthogonalys seyrigi has more antennomeres completely white, usually 6, orange hind tibiae and tarsi concolorus with the rest of the legs, and the first metasomal tergite orange. Other differences in Orthogonalys maculata are the narrower mesoscutellum, which is slightly as long as broad (Fig. 23), and the paramere of the male genitalia which is long and white (Fig. 27), much more like the parameres of Orthogonalys gigantea and Orthogonalys hova, rather than the short, brown paramere of Orthogonalys seyrigi (Fig. 39). Because of the similar male genitalia, we regard this species more closely related to Orthogonalys gigantea and Orthogonalys hova rather than to Orthogonalys seyrigi.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/01FE0CA076F4FC634CE378ADD570043C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Paratypen auch in Museum Paris." The holotype male at MNHU is labeled "Madagascar, Rogez, 11.31, A. Seyrig" "Orthogonalos seyrigi Bisch. Type ♂ 1933, det. Bischoff" “TYPUS” "Zool. Mus. Berlin." There are also seven paratype males, five with the same data as the holotype except XII.30 (4) and II.31 (1), and two males labeled "O. -Madagaskar, Rogez 11.32, Seyrig S."</p> <p>There are five paratypes at MNHN from Rogez, most in bad condition. Two are males, one with the antennae missing; one is a female, probably the only female in the original type series and the allotype designated by Bischoff, and is missing the head; two others are probably males but have the head and metasoma missing.</p> <p>Description.</p> <p>Female. Known by female allotype as designated by Bischoff (1933) in MNHN. The head is missing but otherwise similar to male.</p> <p>Male.</p> <p>(Fig. 35). Length, 8.0 - 9.0 mm. Antenna black with apex of 9th antennomere and antennomeres 10-15 completely white. Head white with vertex black, black narrowly extending to dorsal margin of eyes and as broad stripe anteriorly to antennal sockets; small medial black spot on dorsal margin of clypeus (Figs 37, 38). Mesosoma white laterally and ventrally with central dark stripe on pronotum; area anterior to transscutal articulation red, posterior to transscutal articulation black with mesoscutellum and metascutellum white. Legs orange with hind tibia and tarsus sometimes slightly darker orange than rest of legs. Wings hyaline; veins and stigma black. Metasoma mostly orange, base of first tergite black; lateral margins of tergites and posterior margins of sternites whiter. Male genitalia brown.</p> <p>Antenna with 26 - 28 antennomeres. Head from above with posterior margin slightly concave; head behind eyes subequal to eye length (Fig. 38). Mesoscutellum with anterior width 1.1 × medial length; metascutellum about 1.5 × broader than long (Fig. 36). Dorsum of mesosoma shiny, with large punctures separated by 2-3 × puncture diameters. Propodeum coarsely reticulate anteriorly, irregularly transversely carinate posteriorly (Fig. 36). Genitalia with paramere short, about as long as broad and broadly rounded posteriorly (Fig. 39).</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Madagascar: Mahajanga (Andreba) (Benoit 1951); Toamasina. Tanzania (tentative identification, Carmean and Kimsey 1998).</p> <p>Remarks.</p> <p>Bischoff (1933) described the species from both sexes. All types at MNHU are males, and all except one of those at MNHN are apparently males. The one female at MNHN is probably the allotype, but it has the head missing and therefore we cannot characterize the female. We have not seen specimens other than the type series.</p> <p>The short parameres of the male genitalia (Fig. 39) relate this species to Orthogonalys brevis (Fig. 6) but in Orthogonalys seyrigi the parameres are about as long as broad, the genae are white, the white on the frons is interrupted by a broad median black stripe, and the mesosoma is red anterior to the transscutal articulation, and black posterior to it with the mesoscutellum and metascutellum white.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D8CC833C1BB9521A57BF6D534E943175	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is readily separated from the Orthogonalys species by its black antennae, mostly black body, and infuscated wings. Two subspecies may occur in Madagascar, the typical subspecies from Madagascar, without locality, and Trigonalys natalensis madegassa from only the two localities given by Bischoff (1933). We see no reason to distinguish subspecies at present.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/0153EBDA4F272F1AB2666EADB18E71BA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
