Remarks. The genus Megatyrus was established by Hlaváč and Nomura (2003) on the basis of three species collected from China and Vietnam. After that, Nomura et al. (2011) added three new species from Thailand. At that time, M. masumotoi was described from Kaeng Krachan National Park. In the present study, this species was discovered from Tanintharyi Nature Reserve. It is the first record of this genus and this species from Myanmar.
