Record. *Savo Island ( Solomon Islands ), collected under dead branches and coconut fronds in coastal forest. Remarks. Forster (1949) erected the monotypic genus Savoa on the basis of (1) the unarmed dorsal scutum (thereby distinct from Acrozalmoxis ), and (2) the ocularial spine (thereby distinct from Zalmoxis ). However, a number of Zalmoxis species have been described with ocularial spines. Furthermore, Zalmoxis otherwise ascribable to " Savoa " have been collected from the vicinity of the Solomon Islands that lack the ocularial spine. We therefore synonymize Savoa with Zalmoxis .
