REMARK

One additional morphospecies of Diplosynapsis ( Fig. 4J View FIG ) 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).
