Saussure & Zehntner (1902: 312 - 313) gave a description and the locality information “ Madagascar, F. Sikora (Musée de Genève). ” The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol under the name Cormocephalus crudelis. There is no data label, but the identification labels in the jar have “ Madagascar ” written on them and there is no reason to suppose that they are not syntypes.
