wollastoni (Megarhaphis) Buchanan-White 1878: 463–464 . [Fig. 247]

Original data: “ exemplar unicum”; “♂”; “ Santa Helena: “ West Lodge ””. [holotype (“exemplar unicum”)]

HOLOTYPE ♂: red-margined holotype disc; red-margined type disc; “St Helena I; West Lodge I. St Helena Wollaston. 1875-76”; “1. Megarhaphis wollastoni BW. ”; “ MEGARHAPHIS WOLLASTONI g.n. sp.n F. Buchanan-White - 1878”; “ Macrorhaphis wollastoni (BUCH-WHITE) G. Schmitz det. 1972”; “ Holotypus ♂”; “Type I”; “BMNH(E) #1005995”; “NHMUK 010592178”.Specimen carded; fourth and fifth right antennomeres, fifth left antennomere, and left middle leg missing. Some parts are glued to the card in front and on the side of the specimen. Genitalia structures kept in glycerin inside a glass vial pinned with the specimen (Fig. 247).

Current status: Macrorhaphis (Megarhaphis) wollastoni (Buchanan White, 1878) (see Schouteden 1905: 179; Schouteden 1907: 39, for the subgeneric placement).

Notes: Schouteden (1905: 181) observed: “Il se pourrait même que M. Wollastoni soit en réalité synonyme de M. acuta . Il serait intéressant de savoir ce que White entend par “ angulos posticos pronoti sat productos ”, ces angles n’étant que peu saillants chez M. acuta .”; this suggested synonymy may need to be investigated. Strangely enough, Thomas (1994: 185) noted: “ Material examined: Type specimen s [plural] in BM(NH).”, yet Buchanan-White had stated that he had a unique example.
