Notes
The number of species of Megatrachelus indicated above is tentative. We are aware of a probable new species from S China (Kwangtung) in the CASC. Also, the validity of M. pallidipennis Motschulsky, 1845 , from Dauria, cited by Maran (1942a), should be con rmed as should the synonymy of the Japanese megacephalus Kono, 1936, with politus (Kono, 1940) . Also Zonitis quadricollis Fairmaire, 1892 , never cited after the original description, may be assignable to Megatrachelus .
