Note: Saini (2006, p. 11) stated in a kind of disclaimer: "Some new species belonging to different taxa such as Profenusa, Satabara, Megadineura, Priophorus etc. are also included in the text. These will be published separately in some research journals." However I can not find any information about Megadineura stringulata Saini, 2006 besides the book in which the name appeared firstly. The name of the species appeared on page 91 in the key to the known species of Megadineura Malaise and species catalogue, and also in plate 57 on page 177. Furthermore, according to the fourth edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Art. 16.3 ( Bu & Zheng, 2007), Megadineura stringulata Saini, 2006 is not available, as there is no statement about a primary type.
