Type species, Sargus hovas Bigot, 1859 , by original designation. Parasargus Lindner, 1935 : 300 . Type species, Parasargus africanus Lindner, 1935 [= Microchrysa stigmatica Enderlein ], by monotypy. Isosargus James, 1936 : 273 . Type species, Chrysonotus nigricornis Loew, 1866 , by original designation. Cephalochrysa bigoti (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma bigoti Lindner, 1968 : 5 . ST 9 ♂ , 2 ♀ [MNHN], 2 ♂ [SMNS]: Madagascar : Ivondro, Ranomafana, Fort Dauphin, and Périnet. We examined two male syntypes [SMNS, MNHN]. Although this species has a rather elongate abdomen, which is atypical for Cephalochrysa , it also has the male eyes holoptic with separated large and small ommatidia. Because of the eye morphology we place this species in Cephalochrysa . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 230) . Cephalochrysa flavum (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma flavum Lindner, 1968 : 6 . ST 1 ♂ [MNHN]: Madagascar : Ranomafana; ST 1 ♂ [SMNS], 1 ♀ [MNHN]: Madagascar : Ivondro. We examined two male syntypes of C. flavum [SMNS, MNHN] and this species fits well with the concept of Cephalochrysa . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 231) . Cephalochrysa fortunatum (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma fortunatum Lindner, 1966b : 8 . HT ♂ [ MNHN ]: Madagascar : Ambodivoangy. We have studied the male holotype of Chrysochroma fortunatum [MNHN] and this species fits well with the concept of Cephalochrysa . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 231) . Cephalochrysa lapidis (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma lapidis Lindner, 1966b : 7 . ST 1 ♂ [MNHN]: Madagascar : Joffreville; ST 1 ♀ [NMB]: Madagascar : Nossy Bé. Chrysochroma lapidus : Woodley 2001 : 231 . Incorrect subsequent spelling. We have studied the male syntype [MNHN] ( Fig. 16 ), and the species fits well with the concept of Cephalochrysa . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 231) . Cephalochrysa latum (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma latum Lindner, 1966b : 8 . HT ♀ [ MNHN ]: Madagascar : Fort Dauphin. We have studied the female holotype [MNHN] ( Fig. 17 ), and the species fits well with the concept of Cephalochrysa . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 231) . Cephalochrysa lucens (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma lucens Lindner, 1968 : 8 . ST 22 ♂ , 6 ♀ [ MNHN , 5 in SMNS ]: Madagascar : Bekily and Behara. We have studied several male syntypes [ SMNS , MNHN ], and the species fits well with the concept of Cephalochrysa . It is the only completely metallic green Cephalochrysa species from Madagascar . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 231) . Cephalochrysa matilei (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma matilei Lindner, 1979 : 308 . HT ♀ [ MNHN ]: Comoro Islands : Grand Comoro, La Grille (Guiri), 850–900 m . We have studied the female holotype [MNHN], and the species fits well with the concept of Cephalochrysa . In fact it could be conspecific with C. lapidis , but we want to wait for a thorough revision of this difficult genus. The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 231) . Cephalochrysa triste (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma triste Lindner, 1966b : 6 . HT ♀ [ MNHN ]: Madagascar : Montagne d’Ambre. We have studied the female holotype [MNHN], and the species fits well with the concept of Cephalochrysa . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 232) . Cephalochrysa turbidum (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma turbidum Lindner, 1965 : 54 . HT ♂ [ IRSNB ]: Zaire : Parc National de la Garamba , Aka/2. We have studied the male holotype [IRSNB], and the species fits well with the concept of Cephalochrysa . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 232) . Cephalochrysa vadoni (Lindner) . Comb. nov. Chrysochroma vadoni Lindner, 1966b : 6 . HT ♀ [ MNHN ]: Madagascar : Fampanambo. We have studied the female holotype [MNHN], and the species fits with the concept of Cephalochrysa . The species was listed under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ” in Woodley (2001: 233) .
