Syngenes alluaudi (van der Weele) : Ábrahám & Dobosz 2011: 114. 15015. Comments. This species, from Madagascar, has now been associated with three of the five valid genera of

Acanthaclisisini in the Afrotropical Region, after its original placement in Acanthaclisis Rambur. It differs from Acanthaclisis by the biareolate costal cells only being present after the origin of Rs, from Syngenes by the costal cells being uniaereolate and not bifurcated before Rs and by the regular pattern of these cells. It is separated from Centroclisis by the evenly curved tibial spurs (right-angular in Centroclisis ); and from Fadrina by the biaereolate cells present only from Rs (from close to base in Fadrina ). Ábrahám & Dobosz (2011) erroneously transferred this taxon to Syngenes without any discussion or justification. It clearly does not belong in Syngenes and is consequently transferred here to Jaya based on the above characters ( Figs 88–93). This species will be more fully described and illustrated in an upcoming revision of the genus Jaya , but figures are provided here to show the major characters that relate it to Jaya .
