ANHRT).  Taxonomic notes.  M. bispermutatawas described from Port St. Jones in Eastern Cape provinceof the RSA. The species is very similar externally to  M. swierstrai(van Son, 1933)described from Transvaal, Pietersburg District. Although the holotypeof  M. swierstrai,deposited in the TMSA, Pretoria, has not been dissected, the male genitalia of the paratypefound in the NHMUK looking convincingly conspecific with the holotypewas dissected by Hacker and figured in his revision. Comparison of the male genitalia of the paratypespecimen of  M. swiestraiand  M. bispermutatalead to the conclusion that the two species are different and easily distinguishable based on their male genitalia ( Hacker et al2012). Several further species described by Hacker (2012)display, however, no difference in genitalia and external characters compared to  M. bispermutata, therefore  Meganola meridianissima Hacker, 2012(described also from South Africa) and  Meganola kakamega Hacker, 2012(described from Kenya) are synonymized here with  M. bispermutatadue to the lack of any distinctive features. Further two species, i.e.  M. stigmatolalis Hacker, 2012(described from Ethiopia) and  M. cryptochra Hacker, 2012(from Cameroon), are also very similar to  M. bispermutata, however the slight differences in their genitalia and the fact that their distribution area is rather remote from that of  M. bispermutatamay justify their taxonomic distinctness at least on subspecific rank. The specimens collected in the MaputoSpecial Reserve are undoubtedly conspecific with  M. bispermutata.
