Dilobitarsus vicinus Candéze, 1895b : 53. 
Elasmosomus vicinus (Candéze) Schwarz, 19026 : 214. 
Syntypes examined: MADAGASCAR: I ex., Madagascar, Diego-Suarez, 17, Ch. 
Alluaud 1893; D. vicinus Cand., Cand. det. [Cand.]. 6 ex., same locality without 
determination labels. 1 9, Diego Suarez, Alluaud; vicinus Cand., comparé au type 
Mus. Brux. 1902 [Fleut.]; Dilobitarsus vicinus Cand., ex type [Fleut.]. 1 ex., 
same locality without determination label (MNHN, Paris). 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from Diego 
Suarez, Montagne d’Ambre, collected and submitted by Alluaud. Fleutiaux 
(Ig02c : 298) and the note on one specimen referring to the ‘type’ in the IRSNB, 
Brussels, suggests that Candéze did not return all the material to Alluaud, but 
retained a specimen or specimens for his own collection. Designation of the lecto- 
type is postponed until this material has been examined.
