Notes:
Hemming (1967) stated:-
When establishing this genus Moore designated as the type-species what he called "S. purendra" and included in it only the nominal species Sarangesa albicilia then named and described for the first time. This type-designation is however invalid, for at that time the name Saragnesa purendra was no more than a manuscript name, not being published with a description until June 1882 (Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1882 : 162). Thus, the only duly established nominal species placed in Sarangesa by Moore in 1881 was Sarangesa albicilia Moore which becomes therefore the type-species by monotypy.
The taxon represented by the nominal species Sarangesa albicilia Moore is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Sarangesa dasahara Moore, [1866] (Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1865 (3) : 787).
Cowan (1970: 54) stated:-
"Saragnesa to read - Sarangesa".

The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
