Hi Chris - me again :)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say something is awry with the genus Melanophthalma.

The NBN Gateway lists:
Genus            Melanophthalma Motschulsky, 1866
Species            Melanophthalma curticollis (Mannerheim, 1844)
Species            Melanophthalma distinguenda (Comolli, 1837)
Species            Melanophthalma transversalis (Gyllenhal, 1827)
Species            Melanophthalma suturalis (Mannerheim, 1844)
Species pro parte    Melanophthalma transversalis sensu auctt. partim non (Gyllenhal, 1827)

Whereas Duff 2008/2012 lists:
MELANOPHTHALMA Motschulsky, 1866
distinguenda (Comolli, 1837)
    angulata sensu auctt. Brit. non (Wollaston, 1864)
suturalis (Mannerheim, 1844) 581
    transversalis sensu auctt. partim non (Gyllenhal, 1827)
transversalis (Gyllenhal, 1827)
    curticollis (Mannerheim, 1844)
    wollastoni (Waterhouse, G.R., 1859)

So,
- Melanophthalma curticollis (Mannerheim, 1844): needs to be a synonym of Melanophthalma transversalis (Gyllenhal, 1827)

- Melanophthalma transversalis sensu auctt. partim non (Gyllenhal, 1827): needs to be a synonym of Melanophthalma suturalis (Mannerheim, 1844) - not Melanophthalma transversalis

- Melanophthalma wollastoni (Waterhouse, G.R., 1859): should be a synonym of Melanophthalma transversalis (Gyllenhal, 1827), not Melanophthalma curticollis (Mannerheim, 1844)

- Melanophthalma angulata sensu auctt. Brit. non (Wollaston, 1864) : should be a synonym of Melanophthalma distinguenda (Comolli, 1837)

But feel free to correct me!
