The authors examined the Malagasy Lygaeoidea material of about 20 European collections, clarified the taxonomic position of Orbellis Distant, 1913 and described 7 new species (O. calcaratus Zmb & Kondorosy, sp. nov., O. dentifemoralis Zmb & Kondorosy, sp. nov., O. flavescens Zmb & Kondorosy, sp. nov., O. guilberti Zmb & Kondorosy, sp. nov., O. longirostris Zmb & Kondorosy, sp. nov., O. nigriapicalis Zmb & Kondorosy, sp. nov. and O. odonnellae Zmb & Kondorosy, sp. nov.) from Madagascar. Three species: Neolethaeus maculosus Slater and ODonnell, 1999, N. madagascariensis Slater and ODonnell, 1999 and N. polhemi Slater and ODonnell, 1999 are transferred to Orbellis. A key is given to separate the species.
