Microquasars are X-ray binary systems capable of generate relativistic redio jets, and may be used as a benchmark for accretion/ejection models due to its scaled-down response times. The search for such objects is a difficult task, and uo to now only about 15 microquasars have been confirmed. The cross-identification between catalogues of differents wavelengths appeared as a promising approach to find microquasars candidates but success has been limited so far [7][9]. Recently , our group used the new MAGPIS survey data to find coincidences with the Luminous Star Catalogue. In order to avoid false detections, a more stringent selection criteria for the cross identifications in the databases have derived in an improved approach from which 3 objects have been proposed as likely HMXB systems and microquasars candidates.
