There are a number of closely allied species of this genus having similar facies, with a wide distribution. Only a close comparison of series from various localities will enable one to decide where one species ends and another begins. I sank M. kolophon (Kirk.) into M. furcifer (Horv.), but I believe it will be better to retain the name as a variety until more material has been studied. I now recognise three varieties of this species, viz. :— 1. M. furcifer (Horv.) (fig. 5). The fork at apex of the genital styles small; clavus with a small black mark at Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Great Britain.
