Illustration without description.

Saussure & Zehntner (1902: 320-321) gave a description, stating that they had many specimens, and the locality information “ Madagascar, Antananarivo; forêt d’Andrangoloaka, Sikora ( Musée de Genève ).” The MHNG collection contains at least twenty specimens in alcohol in two jars under the name Cormocephalus ferox . Both jars contain labels reading “ Cormocephalus ferox S. et Z., Madagascar (Sikora)” indicating that the specimens are syntypes. One of the jars also has a label with the more specific locality “Andrangoloaka.”
