Dasypalpus Macquart View in CoL

Dasypalpus Macquart, 1840: 112 View in CoL [1841: 390]. Type species: Phthiria capensis Wiedemann, 1828 View in CoL [misidentification, = Dasypalpus capensis Macquart, 1840 View in CoL , by original designation. [Not preoccupied by the nomen nudum Dasypalpus Rafinesque, 1815 View in CoL .]

Dasypalpoides Evenhuis, 1978 b: 247 (unnecessary new replacement name for Dasypalpus Macquart, 1840 View in CoL ). Comments: The holotype and only known specimen of Dasypalpus capensis Macquart View in CoL , the genotype of this monotypic genus, is lost. Most authors treat Dasypalpus View in CoL as a junior synonym of Megapalpus View in CoL , but this is speculation and may not be correct because the figures given by Macquart are not typical of Megapalpus (Evenhuis 1990 a) View in CoL .

Distribution: Monotypic. South Africa: Western Cape: Dasypalpus capensis Macquart.
