In his treatment of the Malagasy fauna, Jeannel (1948) assigned three species to genus “ Casnonia ” [a misspelling by Latreille and Dejean (1824) of Cosnania Dejean 1821 ], a genus that is now considered to include only Western Hemisphere species. Each of Jeannel’s three “ Casnonia ” species is now included in a different genus ( Lorenz 2005). The species with members most similar to those of the new species described below is now included in Archicolliuris Liebke (1931) . The present supraspecific classification of odacanthines is basically that of Liebke (1931 and 1938), and no comprehensive taxonomic or phylogenic treatment of this taxon worldwide has been produced since then. Clearly, a phylogenetic analysis of relationships among and inclusiveness of odacanthine genera is needed. Pending such a study, we tentatively include our new species in genus Archicolliuris .
