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.
