Abstract
The genera Anexodus Pascoe, 1866 and Pantilema Aurivillius, 1911 (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Morimopsini), both endemic to Borneo, are revised. Four species of Anexodus are recognized: A. aquilus Pascoe, 1886 (Malaysia: Sabah), A. sarawakensis Sudre, 1997 (Malaysia: Sarawak), A. syptakovaesp. n. (Malaysia: Sarawak), and A. tufisp. n. (Brunei). Pantilema is a monotypic genus containing P. angustum Aurivillius, 1911 (Malaysia: Sarawak) which is known only from the holotype. For the first time, genital structures are studied in these genera. An identification key for the species of Anexodus is provided and their intraspecific morphological variability and distributions are discussed.

forms one of the largest and most well-known beetle lineages in the world (Švácha and Lawrence 2014, Nearns et al. 2017). However, some lineages, especially those from the tropical regions, are underinvestigated, with numerous new taxa described recently (e.g. Bezark et al. 2016, Bi and Lin 2016, Huang and Lin 2016, Ohbayashi et al. 2016, Santos-Silva et al. 2016, Toledo-Hernández et al. 2016). This is also currently the case with , an assemblage of about 50 lamiine genera known mainly from the Afrotropical and Oriental Regions (Sudre and Teocchi 2002, Vitali and Menufandu 2010, Weigel 2015, Gouverneur 2016). Several taxa now assigned to occur also in Borneo (Breuning 1950, Gabriš et al. 2016). Pascoe (1886) described the genus Pascoe for Pascoe, 1886 from Sabah. Additionally, Aurivillius (1911) described and for Aurivillius, 1911 and Aurivillius, 1911 from Sarawak and later, he added Aurivillius, 1913 from Sabah (Aurivillius 1913). Kriesche (1924) described Kriesche, 1924 based on three specimens from Mt. Kinabalu. Breuning (1950) made a key to the World and synonymized with . Since then, nobody has published on the morimopsine fauna of Borneo until Sudre (1997) described Sudre, 1997 based on three specimens from Sarawak. Recently, Gabriš et al. (2016) revised the Bornean species of and described four species from Sabah for which they established three new genera, i.e. , , and . They also reported ovoviviparity for the first time in , when they found large larvae within the females of Gabriš, Kundrata & Trnka, 2016.To finish a revision of the genera classified in in Borneo, we herein review the species of and . For the first time, male and female genitalia are investigated and an identification key is provided for the species of .
Material and methods
In this study we examined mounted adults of both sexes. Genitalia were briefly submerged in hot 10% KOH, dissected and transferred to glycerol. Main diagnostics were photographed using a Zeiss Discovery.V12 with ZEN software. The line illustrations were derived from the photographs. All dissected parts were mounted on separate cardboards using Dimethyl Hydantoin Formaldehyde (DMHF) resin and pinned under the specimens. The measurements of taxonomically relevant morphological structures were taken with a measuring tool in ZEN software as follows: body length (BL) measured from the fore margin of head to the apex of elytra; body width (BW), pronotal width at the widest part; pronotal length at midline. Data from the locality labels are cited verbatim. A slash (/) is used to separate lines on the same label and a double slash (//) is used to separate different labels on the pin. The morphological terminology is used as in Gabriš et al. (2016), following those in Ślipiński and Escalona (2013) and Švácha and Lawrence (2014).

Discussion
In 2013, two Czech universities (Palacky University in Olomouc, University of Ostrava) and the Universiti Brunei Darussalam established a collaboration which resulted in the biodiversity survey of the Ulu Temburong National Park in Brunei (Dančák et al. 2013; Ševčík et al. 2014; Hroneš et al. 2015; Ježek et al. 2015; Kočárek et al. 2015; Hippa et al. 2016; Kuřavová et al. 2017a, b). The collection of several specimens of during the sifting of forest litter (Figs 40–42) encouraged a taxonomical revision of this genus and its relatives in Borneo. In the first part (Gabriš et al. 2016), the genus was revised, including the material identified by various researchers as belonging to that genus, and here, the remaining genera and are revised. Altogether, the occurrence of eleven species in six genera currently classified in in Borneo is confirmed. All known species are distributed in the northern part of Borneo (Fig. 43), which is the presumed Pleistocene rainforest refugium with a very high biodiversity (e.g. Gathorne-Hardy et al. 2002). As demonstrated by Gabriš et al. (2016) and here, the diversity of the morimopsine genera in Borneo is much higher than ever expected. These beetles are also often overlooked in the field due to their cryptic life-style (Figs 40–41) and because entomologists interested in only rarely use sifting (Fig. 42) or pitfall traps as the collecting methods in the tropical forests. However, sifting forest leaf litter is an effective method for collecting various flightless beetle groups (e.g. Anderson and Ashe 2000; Kodada et al. 2013; Grebennikov 2014, 2016; Gerstmeier 2015) and its use in the Bornean rainforest could result in discoveries of further morimopsine lineages.sp. n. in the Ulu Temburong National Park, Brunei: 40 Live specimen 41 Habitat near the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre 42 Ivan H.
