REMARK

One additional morphospecies of Diplosynapsis (Fig. 4J) has been collected in Mitaraka. Tomasovic (2002b) described Diplosynapsis remus based on the holotype and 4 paratype specimens. Vieira & Rafael (2016) reviewed Diplosynapsis including two paratypes of D. remus and in both, the R 4 vein ends in the C vein and, consequently, cell r 2+3 is narrowly open, and not closed as typical for this genus. Thus, although the paratypes do not have the diagnostic characters of Diplosynapsis, it would be premature to remove this species from this genus, since it was not possible to study the holotype. Furthermore, the specimen collected is a female and females of Diplosynapsis are very difficult to identify due to their similarity (material examined: 1 ♀; Mitaraka/035, MNHN).
