Curtonotum boeny
species-group
Species included: 2 (Afrotropical; confined to
Madagascar
).
Synapomorphies: Lateral lobe of epandrium with 2 very strong setae only (35), lateral lobe of epandrium strongly excavated (48).
Tsacas (1977)
assigned the Malagasy endemic species
C
.
boeny
Tsacas
to his
cuthbertsoni
speciesgroup. Both
C

boeny
and its recently described sister species,
C
.
griveaudi
Kirk-Spriggs
(also endemic to
Madagascar
), are here regarded as being sufficiently distinct to warrant inclusion in a species-group of their own, as attested by the above-mentioned synapomorphies.
