Abstract:
The subgenus Megadysdercus Breddin is recognized among the other subgenera on the basis of male genitalia including pygophore, paramere and inflated aedeagus, and female genitalia including first and second gonocoxae, eighth and ninth paratergites and spermatheca. Except D. argillaceus and D. oceanicus not available to us all the taxa comprising Megadysdercus are distinguished on the basis of the above genitalial characters and in this light their phylogenetic relationships are also briefly discussed.
