The second species of the genus, Sychnacedes perroti (Oberthur, 1922), is also very variable (males and females of this species were described several times in the last century under the names brontonepha (Collenette, 1931); idiopis Collenette, 1953, and tamsi (Collenette, 1959). Now all of them are combined into synonyms.
