megaspila (Strachia) Walker 1867b: 341. [ Fig. 110 View FIGURES 105–112 ]

Original data: “ a. Mysol. Presented by W. W. Saunders, Esq.” [holotype]

HOLOTYPE ♀: red-margined holotype disc; green-margined type disc; “Saunders 65.13.”; “M”; “ ASOPUS MEGASPILUS.”; “NHMUK 010592385”. Fifth right and left antennomeres missing ( Fig. 110 View FIGURES 105–112 ).

Current status: Amyotea reciproca (Walker, 1867) (synonymised by Stål 1870: 57; see Schouteden 1907: 54).

Notes: Walker (1867b: 341) had noted: “This may be a mere variety of S. reciproca .”, and indeed, the species was later synonymised to reciproca . The handwritten “M” on the disc label was the way Charles M. Allen, Alfred R. Wallace’s assistant recorded “Mysol” ( Baker 1996: 173). The long label from Walker’s catalogue reads: “ ASOPUS MEGASPILUS.” While this is not the original combination, this is the one used by Walker (1868: 534).
