Treatment

Rhagiosoma obscurithorax Pic, 1914: 21 ; CROWSON (1946): 101; MONRÓS (1956): 107 (as possible syn.of Megamerus funerarius Lacordaire, 1845 ); MONRÓS (1959): 73 (as? syn. of M. funerarius ).

Distribution. East Africa.

Comments. Distribution of this species is doubtful; the species was based on a single specimen labeled ‘E. Africa’ ( PIC 1914). Monrós never examined the type. Nevertheless, he suggested its synonymy with Megamerus funerarius .
