Discussion. All taxa formerly treated as species of Tristactus Konow, 1897 , are currently considered to belong to Megalodontes judaicus . The var. candidatus is a very pale form that was collected together with darker specimens. Benson (1968: 115) synonymized T. punctatus Konow, 1898 with judaicus . Without comment, Taeger (1998) listed T. punctatus var. candidatus as a synonym of judaicus .
