Megalodontes Latreille, 1802

TARPA Fabricius, 1804

Notes

If any member of this genus was ever present in England, then only Megalodontes cephalotes seems at all likely: according to Leach (1817) and Stephens (1835), found near Bristol and Plymouth. See Taeger (2002) for current taxonomy. of the genus.

Species of Megalodontes removed from the British and Irish list:

[ Megalodontes panzeri (Leach, 1817), Megalodontes plagiocephalus (Fabricius, 1804)] Up to three separate Megalodontes species have at times been considered to have been present in England. Neither Megalodontes panzeri nor Megalodontes plagiocephalus , on the basis of their currently known distributions and habitat requirements, probably ever occurred in the British Isles.
