They are not synonymous according to both KEW Plant list and GRIN

Cydista aequinoctialis (L.) Miers is synonym of Bignonia aequinoctialis L.

(according to GRIN Cydista aequinoctialis is the correct name)

Adenocalymma alliaceum (Lam.) Miers is a synonym of 

Mansoa alliacea (Lam.) A.H.Gentry

The two look similar and it would be interesting to find differences between them

Perhaps the above plant is Mansoa alliacea (or else Mansoa hymenaea) of it smells of garlic

It is  not Cydista aequinoctialis, which lacks garlic smell

Perhaps the whole internet considers them as synonyms but not the taxonomic world (incl GRIN and KEW Plant List) which knows their differences. After a lot of seach I found answer here: 

http://zmypulse.info/2011/sctb-0081-wpow/

The answer is found in Flora of Micronesia, 5: Bignoniaceae-Rubiaceae
F . Raymond Fosberg, Marie-Helene Sachet and Royce L . O i e lvr

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS, Washington,D.C. 1993

The two genera can be differentiated as under

     1.  Fruit valves costate, acuminate, plant with garlic odor when bruised or broken; inflorescence racemose on small lateral branchlets calyx-limb flaring, corolla lavender . . . . . . . . Mansoa 

     1. Fruit valves not notably costate, odor when broken not alliaceous.  Inflorescence a twice or more trichotomous cymose panicle, leaflet bases rounded or broadly cuneate, pseudostipules inconspicuous or early caducous, tendril often present and conspicuous; calyx-limb not notably flaring; corolla limb whitish to pink or lavender. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Cydista 

There are, however, at least two vines known as garlic vine: Mansoa hymenaea (DC.) A. H. Gentry and Mansoa alliacea Lamk. The two are also confused with each other. Perhaps some one can find above plant is ultimately Mansoa alliacea or Mansoa hymenaea. For that a key is needed.

Yes that should be consensus Pseudocalymma alliaceum (Lam.) Sandwith, Adenocalymma alliaceum (Lam.) Miers, but now correctly known as 

Mansoa alliacea (Lam.) A.H.Gentry 

However, we have still to exclude Mansoa hymenaea (another garlic smell climber). The two are very similar and some one has to hunt out a key separating these two species to put stamp on identification. This I had written earlier also.
