REMARKS

According to the original description, the male type specimen was in the possessions of the Senckenberg Institute. A search through the collection of the Senckenberg Museum by the first author did not lead to the rediscovery of the type. Furthermore, Lenz stated in a footnote that Z. elegans might represent the unknown male of Z. hippocastanum , because the individuals came from the same locality (Nosy Bé), and that Lenz wanted to synonymize them.
