Revision of the genus Trypogeus Lacordaire, 1869 (Cerambycidae, Dorcasominae).

The ten species of the genus Trypogeus Lacordaire are revised. Trypogeusapicalis Fisher, 1936, is proposed as a new synonym of Trypogeusjavanicus Aurivillius, 1925. A neotype for Trypogeussericeus (Gressitt, 1951) and lectotypes for Toxotusfuscus Nonfried, 1894 and Trypogeusjavanicus are designated. Trypogeusfuscus auct. nec Nonfried is a misidentification of Philusophthalmicus Pascoe. All the species are described and keys are given for distinguishing the species. Photographs of the types of all the Trypogeus species are published for the first time.

Introduction

Lacordaire (1868) described the Group IX , amongst the representatives of the subfamily , in “légion II des Cérambycides vrais, Cohorte I, Cérambycides silvains, section-B, avec les yeux finement granulés” and in this group he included the genera Serville, 1834 and Lacordaire, 1869.

This division was elevated to Tribe by Aurivillius (1912), who included six genera ( Lacordaire, 1869, Heller, 1899; Waterhouse, 1881; Kolbe, 1897; Distand, 1907; and Aurivillius, 1903). Quentin and Villiers (1970) separated the latter five genera into other tribes, leaving the genus as the sole representative of the tribe.

Danilevsky (1979) proposed the status of subfamily for Lacordaire’s (1869) , originally comprising the genera Chevrolat, 1860; Thomson, 1857 and Lacordaire, 1869. Later, however, Özdikmen (2008), in agreement with the comments of P. Svacha and M. Danilevsky (1987, 1989), established the synonymy of the subfamilies and .

Lacordaire (by monotypy)

Description.

Anterior part of head with short rostrum. Long protruding mandibles, curved at the apex, the inner margin of the left mandible is sinuate and has no tooth whereas the margin of the right mandible is straight and has a sharp tooth in the middle. The neck is not narrowed or convex behind the eyes. Very long maxillary palpi, extending past the apex of the mandibles. Eyes moderately coarsely faceted; small and not very prominent. Antennae reaching or surpassing the apex of elytra in males, shorter in the females, the insertion is in front of the eyes as in other tribes of the . The pronotum is subcylindrical, slightly wider than long at the level of the lateral protuberances, transverse in females, the anterior border is thin and simple and the posterior border is sinuate and margined. Discal area finely punctuate and presenting four or five gibbosities. Very short broad prosternum, the intercoxal process very narrow and dilated posteriorly. Procoxal cavities round and well extended towards the sides, almost reaching the lateral protuberance of the pronotum. Front coxae conical and protruding. Sides of the pronotum with a slight border in front of the protuberances. Mesocoxae closer together in males (Fig. 9), and more broadly separated by the mesosternal process in the females (Fig. 10). Triangular scutellum with rounded apex. Elytra not very long, flattened and strongly narrowed in the middle, slightly dehiscent at apex. In the females the elytra do not usually cover the abdomen and leave some terminal abdominal segments uncovered, particularly when it is swollen with eggs. The epipleura are well delimited and flattened. Wings (Fig. 1) are present and well developed in both males and females; they are translucent and somewhat darkened, the radial cell closed and the anal cell open, with simplified venation. Short slender legs, the femurs dilated in the middle and tibiae straight and widened at the apex. Female metatarsi are strongly dilated (Fig. 2), particularly the first two tarsomeres which are wider than the apex of the tibiae. The male aedeagus (Fig. 3) is long and slightly arched, acuminated at the apex, PageBreakthe lower lamina is distinctly longer than the upper. Very simple endophalus lacking interior sclerites (Fig. 14). Short narrow tegmen (Fig. 4) with long slender acuminated parameres, bearing about six long golden apical setae. In general the morphology of the male copulatory organ differs little between species. There are only small differences in the shape of the apex of the aedeagus and in the apical setae on the parameres of the PageBreaktegmen (Figs 11–13). The integument is generally testaceous yellow with a dark elytral border in some species. The males are darker and generally part of the prothorax and legs is black, whereas the legs of the females are always yellow. Brown and yellowish antennae with the last segments usually almost white.

Remarks.

The genus was described by Lacordaire (1869) in order to include his new species , from Malaysia. He assigned the new genus to his division “Cohorte II. Cérambycides vrais souterrains”, basically due to the morphology of the intercoxal protuberance on the metasternum, narrow and triangular in the males, wide and rounded in the females. The genus was included in the tribe because of its robust maxillary palpi, much longer than the labial palpi and also the weakly narrowed neck. Subsequently, with the exception of Lacordaire, the genus was considered as belonging in the subfamily ; Boppe (1921) and Aurivillius (1912) included it in the tribe . Nonfried (1894) described from Sumatra (this was a misidentification of Pascoe), and Aurivillius (1912) later transferred it unduly to the genus . Gressitt (1951) described the genus in order to include his new species Gressitt from southern China and Matsushita, 1933 and placed that genus in the tribe (). Gressitt and Rondon (1970) also transferred Pic, 1922 to . Hayashi and Villiers (1985) retained the genus in the tribe () together with Hayashi, synonymized with and placed in this genus Pic, 1903 and Pic, 1922 in addition to Aurivillius, 1925, and Fisher, 1936. They moved to the genus . Vives (2005 and 2007) described from the Philippines and from Borneo, Holzschuh (2006) described from Java, Indonesia, and Miroshnikov (2014) described two additional species, and , so that currently the genus contains twelve known species. Of these, I hereby synonymize Fisher, 1936 with Aurivillius, 1925. sensu Hayashi and Villiers (1985) and Vives (2007) (nec Nonfried, 1894) should be assigned to Holzschuh, 2006, because Nonfried is a misidentification of ; therefore, the genus would be reduced to ten species.

Pronotum subcylindrical, slightly wider than long (70/80) at the level of the strongly rounded lateral protuberances. Triangular scutellum with slightly rounded apex, punctate and with short golden tomentum. Long narrow elytra, rounded and very prominent humeri, narrowed at the middle and dehiscent at apex, which is rounded in each elytron. Bordered suture. Discal area with a depression from elytral base to the centre. The elytra leave the last two abdominal segments uncovered. Mesosternum and metasternum short and broad, with a very broad, subquadrate mesoepisterna, the mesocoxal cavities well separated by an angular process. Wide abdomen in females, slightly more so than the elytra, the tegument of the five visible sternitesis translucid, through which around fifty eggs can be seen in the holotype specimen, which Lacordaire (1869) probably mistook for “scattered white spots”. The sternites are finely punctate and clothed in short golden tomentum. Short robust legs, femora widened at middle, straight tibiae dilated at apex.

Size of the male 9–11 mm long and 3.9–3.2 mm wide. Body completely testaceous except for the external margin of mandibles, the lateral margin and apex of elytra, the first seven antennal segments and the tibiae, which are almost black. The occiput and thoracic disc have a large brown-black spot. The underside of the body is brown except for the abdominal sternites which are almost black. Broad short head, prominent eyes with medium facets. The lower lobe is almost double the length of the upper lobe. The mandibles are broad, arched and protruding; the inner margin is smooth, lacking a medial tooth. The antennae are long and robust, extending past elytral apex from the third antennomere, the last four antennomeres are yellowish. Pronotum subquadrate, slightly longer than wide with four discal protuberances, one at each side of the pronotal middle. A large brown spot extends longitudinally from the front to the rear border, narrowing at apical third. The entire pronotal surface is coarsely punctate, almost rugged. The hind margin is doubly sinuate. Yellowish prosternum with the front and rear parts brown. Prosternal process long and narrow, the coxal cavities opened behind and procoxae extended at an angle to the sides. Dark brown triangular scutellum with a central depression. The central plate of the mesonotum lacking a stridulatory area. Subconical elytra, wider than pronotum with humeri very obtuse, rounded and projecting upwards. Bordered protruding suture. Apex of elytra rounded and dehiscent. The elytra are narrowed after the middle, widening slightly at apical fifth. Elytral punctation is coarse and granulose, decreasing after apical third. The entire elytral surface is clothed in golden tomentum that becomes brown at sides and brown-black at apex. Legs short and robust, tibiae widened at apex. Clothed in golden tomentum except for tibiae that are covered in dense blackish pubescence. Tarsi not widened and with the first segment of mesotarsi and metatarsi longer than the second and third together. The lower part of the body is finely punctate and clothed in golden tomentum. Copulatory organ of male elongate (Fig. 13) slightly arched with a strongly acuminate apex and the upper lamina narrower and thinner than the lower, not reaching the apex. Lateral parameres long and slender, bearing long setae at apex and some short setae on the inner side.

This species is the smallest in the genus, it can be distinguished from the others by the almost black spots on head and pronotum and the tibiae with black pubescence. The most similar species is Aurivillius, from which it can be separated by the characters mentioned, by the different colouration of elytra and the morphology of the pronotum.

Yellowish labrum, clypeus, scapus, elytra, fore-and mid-femora. Yellow pronotum and abdomen. Frons naked, wrinkled and punctate. Antennae as long as the body with segments 3–5 subequal, segments 4–10 with slightly serrated external margin. Eyes with fine granulation, weakly emarginated. Pronotum clothed in dense white tomentum, shape subcylindrical, the widest part is before the middle, the sides have two small lateral tubercles, discal area with four gibbosities. Triangular scutellum with rounded apex and dense white silky tomentum. Elytra with broad base, almost twice as wide as the base of the pronotum, acuminate at apex with emarginate sides, each elytron is individually rounded and weakly dehiscent. Discal area with a depression from elytral base to the middle. Bordered suture. Basal tomentum white and silky, darkened suture. Anterior coxae subcontiguous, midcoxae rather separate, mesosternal process with wide, strongly bordered apex. Anterior femora thickened after apical half, longer than fourth abdominal segment. Female testaceous yellow, with golden-yellow tomentum on the head, very abundant on the external side of mandibles. Antennomeres 3–8, lateral margin and apex of elytra dark, almost black. Antennomeres 1–3 testaceous, 9–11 white. Pronotal disc with four inconspicuous gibbosities.

I have studied the holotype of Fisher, 1933 (Lingafelter et al. 2014: 18) and can hereby confirm that it corresponds perfectly to the female of , which is why its synonymy with Aurivillius, 1925 is proposed.

Head subquadrate, longitudinally furrowed, eyes not very prominent. Mandibles reddish on the inner margin and blackish on external side and apex. Generally with a blackish spot between the eyes, in some specimens it can be completely black. Antennae long, extending past apex of elytra at antennomere 9, slightly serrated after antennomere 4, usually testaceousbrown from the scapus to the fourth antennomere, the last two segments are usually yellowish. Pronotum subquadrate (23/30) with four protuberances in the centre of the disc and a fifth in the middle of the posterior border. Prominent lateral gibbosities barely sharp. Disc testaceous red with a blackish cross-shaped spot. Prosternum short with very narrow prosternal process slightly enlarged towards the rear. Procoxal cavities opened, narrow mesosternum with coxal cavities separated by a bilobed and strongly punctate mesosternal process. Scutellum black and rounded at apex. Elytra long and slightly narrowed after basal third, rounded humeri very prominent. Finely bordered elytral suture slightly darker than the rest of the elytra. Elytra hunched at base, behind scutellum, with strong sparse punctures; the rest of the elytra are reddish-brown with a darker epipleural margin and much finer and sparser punctation. Apex of each elytron rounded, dehiscent sutural angle. Abdominal segments brown and punctate, clothed in golden pubescence. Short robust legs with femora dilated at middle, testaceous except for the apex which is brown. Straight tibiae vey dilated at apex, usually brown. Tarsi short and narrow, except for the first metatarsus which is almost as long as the others together. Aedeagus long and slender, very narrow median lobe, upper apical lamina shorter and narrower than the lower. Smooth endophalus lacking chitinous sclerites. Short narrow lateral parameres with rounded apex and bearing some long golden setae (Fig. 11).
