Megalomma pacificum Johansson, 1927

Megalomma pacifica [sic] Johansson 1927: 130-131, textfig. 15.11.

Type locality.

Syntypes collected at Aranuka Island, outside the coral reef (0.14°, 173.56°; estimated geolocation), and Tapeteuea (= Tabiteuea) Island, inside the lagoon (-1.5°, 175.0°; estimated geolocation), both at Gilbert Islands, Kiribati, Pacific Ocean.

Remarks .

According to Fitzhugh (2002), Megalomma pacificum Johansson, 1927 probably belongs to the genus Demonax Kinberg, 1867 (a name recently replaced by Parasabella Bush, 1905 due to homonymy; see Tovar-Hernández and Harris 2010). The fact that the holotype has dried out (Knight-Jones 1997) and that the species has a remote type locality have likely prevented a formal redescription. The species was not included in the Parasabella species list given by Tovar-Hernández and Harris (2010), but its possible inclusion in Parasabella has been implicitly accepted by subsequent authors (Capa and Murray 2009, Tovar-Hernández and Carrera-Parra 2011).
