Notes, transfers, new combinations, and new taxa of some African genera of the tribe Cerambycini (Coleoptera Cerambycidae)

The taxonomy of several genera of African Cerambycini is reviewed. Ptycholaemus Chevrolat, 1858 is considered as a senior synonym of Striatoptycholaemus Lepesme & Breuning, 1956 n. syn. and the following taxonomy is proposed: Ptycholaemus bouakensis (Lepesme & Breuning, 1956) n. comb., P. longicollis Schwarzer, 1931 rest. comb.; P. striaticollis Boppe, 1912 rest. comb.; P. variecollis Schwarzer, 1931 rest. comb. Pachydissus aspericollis Fairmaire, 1887 is transferred to Margites Gahan, 1891 and Margites aspericollis (Fairmaire, 1887) n. comb. is introduced. Three new genera are described. Trichoderolus n. gen. (Type-species: Tapinolachnus gyllenhalii Fhraeus, 1872) is separated from Derolus Gahan, 1891. Trichoderolus gyllenhalii (Fhraeus, 1872) n. comb. is introduced. Adlbaueria n. gen. (Type-species: Pachydissus samai Adlbauer, 2000) is separated from Pachydissus Newman, 1838. Adlbaueria samai (Adlbauer, 2000) n. comb. is introduced. Afrodissus n. gen. (Type-species: Pachydissus congolensis Hintz, 1911) is separated from Pachydissus. The following new combinations are introduced: Afrodissus adlbaueri (Bouyer, 2018) n. comb.; A. aquilus (Olliff, 1889) n. comb.; A. aurivillianus (Distant, 1904) n. comb.; A. camerunicus (Aurivillius, 1906) n. comb.; A. congolensis (Hintz, 1911) n. comb.; A. curvivittatus (Adlbauer, 2002) n. comb.; A. drumonti Bouyer, 2018 n. comb.; A. evounai (Haller & Vitali, 2010) n. comb.; A. furcifer Jordan, 1894 n. comb.; A. furvus (Fhraeus, 1872) n. comb.; A. garnieri (Adlbauer, 2002) n. comb.; A. hector (Kolbe, 1893) n. comb.; A. leonardi (Bouyer, 2018) n. comb.; A. morettoi (Bouyer, 2018) n. comb.; A. natalensis (White, 1853) n. comb.; A. philemon (Adlbauer, 2002) n. comb.; A. regius (Aurivillius, 1906) n. comb.; A. schoenigi Hintz, 1910 n. comb.; A. subauratus (Gahan, 1890) n. comb.; A. titan (Aurivillius, 1916) n. comb.; A. vicarius (Aurivillius, 1906) n. comb.; A. vicinus (Corinta-Ferreira, 1957).

Abstract

The taxonomy of several genera of African Cerambycini is reviewed. Ptycholaemus Chevrolat, 1858 is considered as a senior synonym of Striatoptycholaemus Lepesme & Breuning, 1956 n. syn. and the following taxonomy is proposed: Ptycholaemus bouakensis (Lepesme & Breuning, 1956) n. comb., P. longicollis Schwarzer, 1931 rest. comb.; P. striaticollis Boppe, 1912 rest. comb.; P. variecollis Schwarzer, 1931 rest. comb. Pachydissus aspericollis Fairmaire, 1887 is transferred to Margites Gahan, 1891 and Margites aspericollis (Fairmaire, 1887) n. comb. is introduced. Three new genera are described. Trichoderolus n. gen. (Type-species: Tapinolachnus gyllenhalii Fhraeus, 1872) is separated from Derolus Gahan, 1891. Trichoderolus gyllenhalii (Fhraeus, 1872) n. comb. is introduced. Adlbaueria n. gen. (Type-species: Pachydissus samai Adlbauer, 2000) is separated from Pachydissus Newman, 1838. Adlbaueria samai (Adlbauer, 2000) n. comb. is introduced. Afrodissus n. gen. (Type-species: Pachydissus congolensis Hintz, 1911) is separated from Pachydissus. The following new combinations are introduced: Afrodissus adlbaueri (Bouyer, 2018) n. comb.; A. aquilus (Olliff, 1889) n. comb.; A. aurivillianus (Distant, 1904) n. comb.; A. camerunicus (Aurivillius, 1906) n. comb.; A. congolensis (Hintz, 1911) n. comb.; A. curvivittatus (Adlbauer, 2002) n. comb.; A. drumonti Bouyer, 2018 n. comb.; A. evounai (Haller & Vitali, 2010) n. comb.; A. furcifer Jordan, 1894 n. comb.; A. furvus (Fhraeus, 1872) n. comb.; A. garnieri (Adlbauer, 2002) n. comb.; A. hector (Kolbe, 1893) n. comb.; A. leonardi (Bouyer, 2018) n. comb.; A. morettoi (Bouyer, 2018) n. comb.; A. natalensis (White, 1853) n. comb.; A. philemon (Adlbauer, 2002) n. comb.; A. regius (Aurivillius, 1906) n. comb.; A. schoenigi Hintz, 1910 n. comb.; A. subauratus (Gahan, 1890) n. comb.; A. titan (Aurivillius, 1916) n. comb.; A. vicarius (Aurivillius, 1906) n. comb.; A. vicinus (Corinta-Ferreira, 1957).
