Saussure & Zehntner (1901: 432) gave a description of both sexes and the locality information “ Madagascar (Musée de Francfort); Nossibé, Voeltzkow. ” The MHNG collection contains seven specimens in alcohol in two jars under the name Cormocephalus fangaroka. The first jar, with four smaller specimens, contains the label “ Nosibé Juni 1895 ” indicating that they were collected by Voeltzkow. The second jar, containing three larger specimens, has only “ Madagascar ” written on the identification labels. One of these identification labels in the second jar refers to the specimens as “ fangaroka var. ” which might imply that they are not part of the type series. The SMF online database does not list any specimens.
