Remarks. The
syntypes
are dry-mounted on four slides, the cover slips ringed with paraffin wax, most specimens entire and in good condition, several specimens with head separated or antennae broken off.
Sactogaster
is considered a subgenus of
Synopeas
following
Vlug (1995)
. The species name should be
madagascariense
since the ending of
Synopeas
is directly transliterated from the Greek neuter noun οπεας, the genus has neuter gender (ICZN 1999: Art. 30.1.2).
