Megacephala is a small genus of beetles in the family Carabidae restricted to Africa; it was formerly a much larger genus, but its constituent species (including all of the New World species) have been subsequently placed in other genera, primarily Tetracha, but also Grammognatha, Metriocheila, Phaeoxantha, and Pseudotetracha.[1]
