Specimen carded; antennae and left legs missing; abdomen loose; genital plates inside a vial glass (Fig. 85).

Current status: Macrorhaphis (Megarhaphis) acuta Dallas, 1851 (synonymised by Schouteden 1905: 177; see Schouteden 1907: 39, for the subgeneric placement.).

Note: Walker (1868) had noted: “This may be a variety of M. acuta, from which it is distinguished by the longer ventral spine.” Indeed, the species was later synonymised to M. acuta by Schouteden (1905).
