Anhoraeomorphus gigas (Franz) , comb. n.

Horaeomorphus gigas Franz, 1986b: 171 View in CoL .

Remarks. According to Franz (1986b), the holotype female (the only known specimen) of this species is deposited in Tervuren. This specimen was not found in Musée Royal de l’Afrique Centrale, Tervuren, Belgium (email from Stéphane Hanot dated 02.04.2024), and it is not present in Franz Coll. at NHMW (pers. obs.).

Franz (1986b) described this species as most similar to A. maximus , and there is little doubt that Horaeomorphus gigas is also a member of Anhoraeomorphus .

Distribution. Northern Madagascar (Analanjirofo Region).
