What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

discussion · Plazi

Remarks.—The largest species of the genus with a body length about 40–42 mm and wingspan about 98–108 mm ( Distant 1882 ). The body size, inflated male abdomen with a piceous posterior margin to the abdominal tergites, and bronzing restricted to the distal fore wing quickly distinguish the species from its congeneric species. The song is a series of short buzzes about 1.5 s in duration increasing in intensity to about 1 s with a short decrease in intensity followed by the loudest and most rapid production of timbal clicks completing the syllable with peak energy about 1.4 kHz ( Boulard 2006b ). Distribution.—The species is known only from Madagascar ( Metcalf 1963b ; Sanborn 2013 ). Jacobi (1917) reported the species from Antananarivo , central Madagascar . Material examined.—“ MADAGASCAR : / Fianarantsoa Province / Ranomafana Natl. Park / Talatakely, 900 m elev. / 21.25ºS , 47.42ºE // 2–22 January 2001 / D.H. & K.M. Kavanaugh , / R.L. Brett , E.
