Satyramoeba Sack, 1909: 517 View in CoL . Type species: Anthrax hetrusca Fabricius, 1794 View in CoL , (as ‘ etrusca ’) by original designation.
Meganthrax Evenhuis, 1979 b: 362 . Type species: Anthrax bipunctata Fabricius, 1805 View in CoL , by original designation. Comments: Not yet recorded from Africa but the common species of the Mediterranean Basin, Satyramoeba hetrusca (Fabricius) View in CoL , is recorded from Spain and Israel and so may be expected to be discovered in North Africa eventually.
The male genitalia are similar to those Spogostylum spp. with an elongate aedeagus, but the aedeagus is comparatively shorter and the epiphallus larger; females also have similar, large balloon-like spermathecal bulbs, but with a short sclerotised base and short ducts.
Distribution: West and central Palaearctic and Oriental Regions.
