BIN: BOLD:ADG6163

Identity: Megacraspedus andreneli Varenne & Nel, 2014

Remarks. Megacraspedus andreneli was described from two males (Varenne & Nel 2014). We were able to obtain DNA barcode sequences of both specimens which show a marked genetic distance and cluster in separate BINs with 4.3% divergence ( Huemer & Karsholt 2018). The identity of the paratype therefore has to be re-assessed in future studies.
