| Abstract: | New generic synonymy in Scolytidae is proposed as follows: Amasa Lea ( = Pseudoxyleborus Eggers), Araptus Eichhoff ( = Brachydendrulus Schedl, Gnathocranus Schedl, Gnathoborus Schedl), Chortastus Schaufuss ( = Afrochramesus Schedl), Cosmoderes Eichhoff ( = Dendriops Schedl), Cryphalus Erichson ( = Acryphalus Tsai & Li, Jugocryphalus Tsai & Li), Cyrtogenius Strohmeyer ( = Eulepiops Schedl, Ozodendron Schedl, Mimidendrulus Schedl, Artepityophthorus Schedl), Dendrographus Schedl ( = Protopityophthorus Schedl), Glostatus Schedl ( = Paraglostatus Schedl), Gnathotrupes Schedl ( = Gnathocortus Schedl, Gnathomimus Schedl, Gnathoglochinus Schedl), Hylesinopsis Eggers ( = Metahylesinus Eggers, Hapalophloeus Schedl, Hemihylesinus Schedl), Hypothenemus Westwood ( = Chondronoderes Schedl, Archeophalus Schedl, Pachynoderes Schedl, Lepiceroides Schedl), Liparthrum Wollaston ( = Dacryophthorus Schedl), Mimiocurus Schedl ( = Micracidendron Schedl, Mimiophthorus Schedl), Miocryphalus Schedl ( = Afromicracis Schedl), Phloeoditica Schedl ( = Xylechinops Browne), Pityophthorus Eichhoff ( = Breviophthorus Schedl, Neomips Schedl), Pseudothysanoes Blackman ( = Bostrichips Schedl, Gretschkinia Sokanovskii, Neoglostatus Schedl), Scolytodes Ferrari ( = Hexacolinus Schedl, Cryphalophilus Schedl), Scolytogenes Eichhoff ( = Xylocryptus Schedl), Taphrorychus Eichhoff ( = Saliciphilus Sokanovskii, Taphroterus Schedl), Tricolus Blandford ( = Pterocyclonoides Schedl), Triotemnus Wollaston ( = Cladoproctus Schedl), Xylosandrus Reitter ( = Apoxyleborus Wood). New specific synonymy in Scolytidae is proposed for: Chortastus agnatus Eggers ( = Afromicracis baguenai Schedl), Pelicerus (now Dendrographus ) pygmaeus Eggers ( = Protopityophthorus durus Schedl). The status of Pseudomicracus Eggers is discussed. The following new genera are proposed in Scolytidae: Phloeographus (type-species: Phloeographus mamibiae Wood), Phloeocurus (type-species: Hylocurus africanus Schedl), Saurotocis (type-species: Micracidendron tomicoides Schedl), and Peridryocoetes (type-species: Ozodendron nitens Schedl). Pseudothysanoes spinatulus, new name, is proposed to replace P. spinatus Wood, 1956. |
