Many specimens have a dark spot above the hind margin at the joint of Cu2 and CuP+Al on the fore wing. The cross-veins are simple in the one-fourth part of the costal area but the distal part is subequally divided with two-row cells; there are no bifurcated cross-veins except for the area right before the pterostigma, which are characteristic for the other species of the genus, too. There is less pubescence on legs than that of Centroclisis sp. Tibial spurs curve smoothly without inward processus. Male ectoproct is long, straight and with a tapered apex. STANGE (2004) assigned it to Centroclisis but that was a wrong combination. The taxonomical status of African Syngenes Kolbe, 1897 species need to be revised since the validity of S. inquinatus (Gerstaecker, 1885), S. dolichocerus Navás, 1914, S. maritimus Needham, 1913 is doubtful. S. longicornis (Rambur, 1842) seems to be a widespread species in the Central and Southern part of Africa ( STANGE 2004) and many authors (WEELE 1907, ESBEN-PETERSEN 1916, 1920, NAVÁS 1935, FRÄSER 1951,
