Description

M. incertus Börner, 1903

Megalothorax incertus Börner, 1903: 160

QC Marshall 1964, 1967; Christiansen & Bellinger 1981, 1998; Skidmore 1995

NF Arulnayagam 1995; Puvanendran et al. 1997

Remarks: Due to the recent revision of the genus (Schneider & D’Haese 2013) and several subsequent descriptions of new congeners, the above records should be considered questionable.

General distribution: uncertain; described from Sicily, Italy.
