Dallas 1851: 88 . [ Fig. 1 ] Original data : “ ♁”. “a. Congo . Presented by Sir John Richardson, M.D.” [ syntype (s)] . SYNTYPE ♁: blue-margined syntype disc; red-margined type disc; rectangular orange label “ HOLOTYPUS ♁”; “ Congo / 43 56”; “2. MACRORHAPHIS ACUTA ,”; “NHMUK 010592174”. Carded specimen; third to fifth left antennomeres, and fourth and fifth right antennomeres missing ( Fig. 1 ) . Current status : Macrorhaphis ( Megarhaphis ) acuta Dallas, 1851 (see Schouteden 1907: 39 , for the subgeneric placement.). Note : Walker (1867a: 129) listed a unique specimen of Dallas’s species and it is likely that Dallas just had one (especially as Dallas had stated only one measurement and noted: “Antennae pale brown, with the apex of the third and fourth joints pitchy ( fifth wanting ).” [emphasis ours]. Still, we cannot be certain and therefore consider the specimen a syntype , although G. Schmitz had placed a holotype male label on the specimen. Thomas (1994: 185) did not mention having seen the type under the material he examined.
