Notes.

About twenty species are known from the Afrotropical region, most of these are from Madagascar. There are no significant diagnostic characters distinguishing Eugonotes Jacoby from Sanckia . The following new synonymy is therefore proposed: Sanckia Duvivier, 1891 = Eugonotes Jacoby, 1897 syn. n. Type material examined: Eugonotes longicornis Jacoby, "Madagascar, Diego Suarez", syntype ♀ (BMNH).
