* Panzera (1932) described the larvae of “Helochares griseus” (p. 54) and Helochares lividus (p. 60); “Helochares griseus” is a synonym of Helochares lividus (Forster), with some varieties of “Helochares griseus” synonymized with Helochares obscurus (Müller). This description might correspond to Helochares lividus (Forster) or Helochares obscurus (Müller). **Peltochares conspicuus has never been reported from Madagascar. The species identification is likely incorrect.
