Illustration without description.

Saussure & Zehntner (1902: 332-335) gave a description of the ♀, stating that they had more than one specimen, and the locality information “ Madagascar, Sikora (Musée de Genève).” The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol under the name Schendyla grandidieri . There is no data label but the identification labels in the jar have “ Madagascar ” written on them. This specimen was designated as lectotype by Hoffman & Pereira (1997: 13), who also mentioned a paralectotype in the MNHN although this does not appear on their online database.
