REMARKS
A study of the endotergum shows clearly that Zoosphaerium insulanum represents a (possibly introduced) South African sphaerotheriid species of the genus Sphaerotherium . The genus Zoosphaerium is obviously strictly endemic to Madagascar. See Van den Spiegel et al. 2002 for a revision of this species.
