Remarks

Available name as subspecies of Megalofrea bioculata (Fairmaire, 1889) . The original description lists two syntypes from Tananarive deposited at the MNHN and one from Maroentsetra in the collection of Lepesme (cited above). Three more specimens labelled as cotypes in the ZMH (one from Tananarive, two from Maroentsetra) do not belong to the type series since they do not correspond to the number of specimens cited in the description and do not bear original type labels.
