Current status. Unavailable name. It is clear from the original description that Hoberlandt (1947) proposed this name merely for the colour variant occurring sympatrically with the typical form and therefore there is no doubt he meant an infraspecific entity within Tenagogonus madagascariensis Hoberlandt, 1947 .
