Remarks. The only Megaphyllum s. str. species with a special projection in the upper third of the promere, much lower than in M. transsylvanicum . Otherwise its opisthomere fits well with Megaphyllum s. str., resembling M. transsylvanicum by having a very long solenomere process, but as a whole more like M. carniolense and M. montivagum .
