D i s t r i b u t i o n Seychelles: Aldabra Group (Aldabra, Assumption, Astove, Cosmoledo) – Mayotte: Mayotte – Madagascar: Prov.

Toliara: Antanimora, Behara, Bekily, Faux Cap, Fort Dauphin, Mandromodromotra, Toliara, Bas Mandrare – Réunion: Glorieuses.

Endemic to the Malagasy subregion. I have seen material from Aldabra convincing me that Bembix aldabra (type not seen) is a new synonym of Bembix madecassa . This synonymy was already recognized by M. Day.
