SYNCALUS Sharp, 1876

Syncalus Sharp, 1876: 20 . Type species: Syncalus hystrix Sharp, 1876 , designated by Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 12.

Acosmetus Broun, 1880: 197 . Type species: Acosmetus oblongus Broun, 1880 , designated by Ivie and Ślipiński 1990: 12. Synonymized with Syncalus Sharp by Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 412.

Remarks: Sharp (1976:20–21) erected this genus and stated its affinities with and differences from Tarphius , suggesting that morphology would indicate members of the two genera probably share similar habits. Broun (1880: 197) erected Acosmetus to include members that appeared to be intermediate between Coxelus (= Notocoxelus ) and Syncalus , while Sharp (1882: 81) considered Acosmetus to be a distinct genus.
