• Sarata delta Heinrich, 1956 |
| Taxonomic Notes: |
Megasis delta (Heinrich, 1956) was formerly listed listed in the genus Sarata, a name synonymized with Megasis in Leraut (2021). This treatment was overlooked by Scholtens & Hayden (in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) 2023). Excluded from Neunzig (2003), this name is treated as "valid unassociated female" in Hodges et al. (1983) (Checklist) and in Scholtens & Solis (2015). This species is suggested as a synonym of M. tephrella (Ragonot, 1893) in Ferris & Nordin (2004). |
