A new species of the genus Austrocarabodes is described; A. madagascarensis n. sp. differs from A. similis and A. spathulatus by the presence of foveolae on the body surface. Supplementary descriptions of Austrocarabodes parapustulatus Mahunka, 2009 and A. planisetus Mahunka and Mahunka-Papp, 2011 which were originally described from Madagascar, are presented.
