Tafa ( Central Province, Papua New Guinea) is recorded for the first time for the provinces Chimbu, Eastern Highlands and Morobe .</p><p>The examined specimens bear an extraordinary resemblance to the specimen of A. riouensis preserved in the MNHNP. However, Aurivillius (1924) described this species from the “Riou Inseln” [= Riau Is., Indonesia], which is located between Singapore, Borneo and Sumatra, without any apparent geographical connection with New Guinea.</p><p>Another curious fact is that Aurivillius described in the same article Dihammus sculpturatus, a relatively large species (37 mm) from Java, also equipped with spined elytra. This character is exceptional among Asian species but extremely widespread in Australian ones. Both species came from the collection G. van Roons and only the types are known. Breuning (1961a) already considered the typical locality of sculpturatus as doubtful, having remarked a strong resemblance to A. bolanica (Breuning, 1944d) . Thus, it is possible that both species were mislabelled and are actually Papuan species.</p><p>erworbenNachlass / R.Kriesche F.

Typ. [handwritten by Breuning and printed] // HOLOTYPE [printed on a red label], in MNHNP.</p><p>Remarks. – Aurivillius (1925) described Dihammus bolanicus from some specimens from different parts of New Guinea: Mt. Bolan, Mt. Goliath [= Mt. Yamin], Utaika river [= Utakwa river] and Mimika river. The first locality is located in Papua New Guinea (Suruwaged Mts., Morobe province) and the three remaining in West Papua.</p><p>KRIESCHE (1936) described Dihammus solatus nodias from Morobe province as well (a male from Mt. Bolan and a female from Sattelberg). He comparedthis specieswiththe Moluccan D.convexus Pascoe, 1866, being uncertain whether it was a different species. Breuning (1944e) considered thistaxonomic placementas very doubtful, and Vitali (2010) recognised D. solatus nodias as synonym of D. bolanicus .</p><p>Finally, Breuning (1980) described A. parabolanica (Fig. 2) from three males from Owgarra (Papua New Guinea, Central Province), which differed from A. bolanica in the head and pronotum without pubescence, the darker pubescence on the antennae, mesosternum and scutellum, as well as some relative characters of sculpture. Actually, they were old, greased specimens without peculiar characters; thus, A. parabolanica should be considered as another junior synonym of A. bolanica .</p><p>Additionally, Acalolepta bolanica should be transferred to the subgenus Dihammus due to the pre-apical tooth on the protibiae.</p><p>Acalolepta (Dihammus) bolanica (Aurivillius, 1925)</p><p>(Fig. 1 -2)</p><p>= Dihammus bolanicus Aurivillius, 1925: 509 or. comb.</p><p>= Dihammus solatus nodias Kriesche, 1936: 67 .</p><p>= Dihammus convexus nodias BREUNING, 1944e: 490 .</p><p>= Acalolepta parabolanica Breuning, 1980: 131 n. syn.</p><p>Examined material</p><p>- 2 ♂, Indonesia, Irian Jaya, Wamena, 26-XII-1992, C.

Consequently, despite the label, the “ allotype ” preserved in the RBINS is not a type, as Cools (1993) claimed.Actually, it is a male that Breuning identified as Cypriola in 1952.</p><p>Subsequently, Breuning (1938) described Dihammus similis from a single male (Fig. 4), indicating the larger body size (27 vs. 18–21 mm), different antennal proportions and imponderable relative characters of puncturing compared with D. timorensis . Finally, Breuning (1944d) added the description of the female, having antennae analogous to those of D. timorensis .</p><p>The examination of the holotype of D. similis has confirmed the suspicion that this species is actually a junior synonym of D. timorensis . The differences in the puncturing and body size are within the variability of this species, while other ones are typical sexual characters (antennal length and proportions).</p><p>Acalolepta timorensis shows the following characters: body length 18– 27 mm; male protibiae with pre-apical tooth;frons, vertex and pronotal disc covered with variable coarse punctures; scape inflated; antennae up to 3 times (♂) or 2 times (♀) as long as body; scutellum covered with pubescence analogous to that of body; elytra distinctly punctured to the apex, with irregular large patches of greyish-yellowish pubescence making little reflections. Tegmen lobes feebly convex.</p><p>Acalolepta timorensis should be included into the subgenus Dihammus due to the pre-apical tooth on the protibiae. It is closely related to A. pseudobianor (Breuning, 1935) and A. rusticatrix (Fabricius, 1801), sharing analogous body size (20–29 mm in pseudobianor, 18–25 mm in rusticatrix), antennal structure and pubescence (Vitali, 2016). It mainly differs in the puncturing on the vertex and the stronger pronotal puncturing. Most probably, this species evolved through isolation from specimens of A. rusticatrix dispersed along the Sunda Islands.</p><p>Acalolepta (Dihammus) sexplagiata n. sp.</p><p>(Fig. 5)</p><p>ZooBank: https://zoobank.org/ BF4264BA-077E-4BA8-85B3-08A98D71D612</p><p>Holotype, ♂, Indonesia, C.W.

Habitus elongated; integument pitch-brown, covered with a dense brown and golden pubescence forming strongly changing patterns according to the direction of the light and three brown spots at the lateral margin of each elytron: a large pre-median one, sometimes embedding a lateral golden spot, a large post-median one and a small</p><p>4</p><p>pre-apical one; the space between the large spots is sometimes marked by a sutural light brown spot.</p><p>Head. – Forehead feebly (♂) or evidently (♀) transverse, covered with irregular strong punctures; eyes more than twice as long as cheeks; vertex relatively wide, smooth.Antennae long, about 2.5 (♂) or 1.75 (♀) times as long as body; antennomere V (♂) or VI (♀) not reaching the elytral apex; scape conical-fusiform, inflated in its apical third, truncated at apex, with an open apical cicatrix; antennomere III twice as long as scape; antennomere XI (♂) 1.75 times as long as X.</p><p>Pronotum. – Transverse, straight at apex, bisinuate at base, with a Vshaped furrow at apex and two transverse furrows at base; each side armed with a large conical tooth, whose apex is feebly tuberculate and perpendicularly directed; disc uneven, irregularly covered with some fine punctures and with three weak bulges on the disc, two anterior ones and a posterior one, reaching the apical and the basal furrows respectively.</p><p>Scutellum. – Trapezoidal to rounded, evidently transverse and densely pubescent.</p><p>Elytra. – Narrow (each elytron about 4 times as long as wide at base), feebly tapered to the apex (♂) or almost parallel-sided (♀); apex evenly rounded; disk covered with a dense pubescence and an almost regular puncturing vanishing on the apical third.</p><p>Legs. – Legs and tarsi of usual length, protibiae with an obtuse pre-apical tooth.</p><p>Ventral surface. – Last visible urosternite posteriorly more (♂) or less (♀) concave, without dense long recumbent pubescence at apex in male.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. – Due to itsdentate male protibiae, Acalolepta sexplagiata n. sp. belongs to the subgenus Dihammus, where it is well characterised by medium body size, rounded elytral apex and golden pubescence forming three almost regular brown spots on each elytron.</p><p>This pattern is very peculiar and is reminiscent of some species of the genus Epepeotes Pascoe, 1866, such as E. lateralis (Guérin-Méneville, 1831), E. diversus Pascoe, 1866 and E. plorator (Newman, 1842), all widespread in Indonesia (Breuning, 1943b).</p><p>Concerning the alliedspecies, Acalolepta sexplagiata n. sp. seems to be more closely related to the Philippine A. pseudobianor (Breuning, 1935), while the development of the stable dark pubescence is reminiscent of the Papuan A. tincturata (Pascoe,1866) .In none of these species, however, the golden pubescence is so much developed. The Philippine A. fuscosericea (Schwarzer, 1931) shows a comparable pubescence (though not forming regular spots) but it is larger (17-30 mm), with a much more elongate body, obliquely truncated elytral apex and conical scape (Hüdepohl, 1988). Finally, Acalolepta antenor (Newman, 1842) and its subspecies show a similar pubescence but slender body and more or less spined elytra apex (Vitali, 2017b).</p><p>Species with golden pubescence are widespread in all distributional areasof the genus, e.g., A. permutans (Pascoe, 1857) and its subspecies, but males show mutic protibiae (Vitali,2022); consequently,they belong to other subgenera. The most similar species look to be A. elijonnahdii Vitali &amp; Fahri, 2019 and A. mattuladai Vitali &amp; Fahri, 2019, both widespread in Sulawesi, which are smaller (12–17 mm) and with a different elytral pattern (Vitali &amp; Fahri, 2019).The Philippine A. tysoni Vitali, 2017 is much slenderer, with longer limbs and different elytral pattern (Vitali, 2017a). Other species widespread in New Guinea, such as A. variolaris (Pascoe, 1866) are more elongated and show less developed golden reflections.</p><p>Etymology. – The specific epithet is a combination of the Latin cardinal numeral “ sex ” (six) and the Latin adjective plagiatus, - a, - um (crooked, marked). It refers to the presence of the six tomentose spots on the elytra.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039E87A9BD58FFB2FF59FA699D2AFCC2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Breuning (1944c), who could not have access to any of the types, decided to prudently accept both species, stating fanciful differences, i.e., elytral apex punctured in dispar or head with only some points in unicolor . Actually, these characters are absent in both species and even contrary to the original descriptions.</p><p>Acalolepta dispar and A. opposita form a group of Sunda species characterised by very dense puncturing on the head and pronotum.

Additional characters were the pronotal disc depressed and provided with three elevated bulges and elytra apically truncated and parallel-sided in both sexes. This subgenus included Acalolepta mixta and A. ampliata and seemed naturally widespread in Australia, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, though the former species was sometimes intercepted in eastern Asia (Vitali, 2017c). The existence of further species belonging to this subgenus was hypothesized in Papua New Guinea (Vitali, 2019).</p><p>A closer examination of Metopides revealed that this genus shares the same characters of Pilohammus, especially the peculiar pubescence of the scape.</p><p>These peculiar recumbent setae are present on the scape and legs of Metopides (Fig. 10b), Acalolepta ampliata (Fig. 11) and A. mixta (Fig. 12). In A. ampliata, they also cover antennomeres III–IV or V. Furthermore, the apex of the femora and the base of the tibiae are covered with light pubescence as in Metopides . However, neither Breuning (1944b) nor HÜDEPOHL (1992) remarked on these characters.</p><p>These peculiar setae are also present on legs and scape of Acalolepta nivosa but they are little visible on the scape since they show about the same colour of the ground pubescence (Fig. 13b). The setae on legs are instead clearly visible and analogue to those of Metopides . This species also shows small lower eye-lobes, relatively short antennae, flattened elytra, rounded elytral apex and pronotum with three bulges (Fig. 13a). The apex of femurs and the base of tibiae are covered with yellow pubescence as in Metopides . Consequently, A. nivosa finds a better classification into the genus Metopides .</p><p>A. mixta shows four elytral spines and the most transverse pedicel, looking to be the most evolved species of the group. The elytral spines seem, however, a synapomorphic character, since they are common to several genera that evolved spined species in the Australian fauna, e.g., Acalolepta, Pachydissus and Trirachys .</p><p>Interestingly, Hüdepohl (1992) remarked that Breuning’s key (1943a) was misleading since Metopides does not show any mesosternal tubercle and thus, it is close to Acalolepta . According to HÜDEPOHL, Metopides differs from Acalolepta in the scape deeply incised at the apex, the thinner lower eye-lobes, and the wrinkled pronotum and frons. Actually, these features are more or less present in many Acalolepta species. In contrast, the characters of the scape, protibiae, pronotum and elytral shape reveal that Pilohammus is more related to Metopides than to Acalolepta .</p><p>Other characters separating Metopides from Pilohammus, i.e., smaller lower eye-lobes, shorter antennae, less flattened elytra and rounded elytral apex, seem to constitute a gradation without forming a clear separation between these species. Thus, Metopides should be considered as senior synonym of Pilohammus .</p><p>In conclusion, Metopides includes at least the following five species:</p><p>Metopides occipitalis Pascoe, 1866 (type-species)</p><p>Metopides paradoxus Hüdepohl, 1992</p><p>Metopides mixtus (Hope, 1841) n. comb.</p><p>Metopides ampliatus (Gahan, 1888) n. comb.</p><p>Metopides nivosus (White, 1858) n. comb.</p><p>Distribution. – Currently, Metopides shows a distribution from Pakistan to the Solomon Islands, through India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and Australia. Considering this very wide distribution, the genus is likely reasonably ancient and further species might be attributed to the genus.</p><p>Jeanvoinea annulipes Pic, 1934</p><p>(Fig. 14)</p><p>Examined material</p><p>Jeanvoinea annulipes Pic, 1934</p><p>HOLOTYPE ♀, TONKIN / Chapa / 9.V.1918 / JEANVOINE [printed and handwritten on a black framed label] // Jeanvoinea / n. gen /</p><p>annulipes / n sp.

The same character and the typical annulated knees are also present in Monochamus flocculatus Gressitt, 1935 (Figs 14b–c).</p><p>Gressitt (1938) transferred this last species to Dihammus, but Breuning (1944e) considered doubtful this taxonomic position. Nonetheless, he did not remark on the similarity with Jeanvoinea . Afterwards, Breuning (1961a) transferred it to Acalolepta, but Weigel (2012) re-transferred it to Monochamus, due to the open cicatrix of the scape. Actually, the genus Monochamus is characterised by a close cicatrix.</p><p>The examination of the holotype of Jeanvoinea annulipes has revealed that this species is nothing other than the female of Monochamus flocculatus . In particular, since Gressitt (1935) described M. flocculatus from the Taiwanese subspecies, Jeanvoinea annulipes is synonym of the continental subspecies paucisetosus Gressitt, 1938. The species epithet flocculatus has to be conserved but it must be used for the Taiwanese subspecies of Jeanvoinea annulipes .</p><p>Consequently, the following taxonomic changes are introduced:</p><p>Jeanvoinea annulipes Pic, 1934</p><p>= Dihammus flocculatus paucisetosus Gressitt, 1938 n. syn.

Frons not trapezoidal; antennae annulated at base, with some recumbent setae but not evidently fringed; scape gently bowed, covered with scattered recumbent setae of contrasting colour, its apex rounded with open cicatrix; antennomere III longer than scape or than IV; antennomeres III–IV inflated and flattened in male, normal in female. Pronotum with a strong lateral spine. Elytra strongly uneven, without humeral spine or granules at base. Procoxal cavities posteriorly closed; prosternum regularly rounded; mesosternum strongly rounded anteriorly. Mesotibiae distinctly furrowed; apex of femora and base of tibiae covered with yellow pubescence; claws divergent (“divariqués” according to Breuning).</p><p>Differential diagnosis. – Jeanvoinea annulipes shows recumbent setae on the scape and legs analogous to those of Metopides (Fig. 14b). Theelytral shape and proportions are also analogous to those of Metopides, while the scape is bowed similar to Metopides paradoxus and M.ampliatus . Moreover, closely observing Metopides species, all show knees covered with light pubescence. Interestingly, the same character can be observed in Acalolepta subbasicornis (Breuning, 1960) and Trachystolodes tonkinensis Breuning 1943, both widespread in Indochina, but the scape does not show recumbent light-coloured setae in these species.</p><p>Nonetheless, Jeanvoinea also shows a completely different elytral surface (strongly uneven and covered with bronze metallic pubescence) and antennomeres III–IV inflated and flattened in males. Thus, Jeanvoinea is more related to Metopides than to Acalolepta but it deserves to constitute a peculiar genus, possibly derived from Metopides .</p><p>Distribution. – Jeanvoinea annulipes is presently known from continental China, Vietnam, Laos and India (nominotypical form) and Taiwan ( ssp. flocculata). Except for Vietnam, all countries are new records for this species, which was never recorded from Laos under A. flocculata paucisetosa either (Hua et al., 2009).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039E87A9BD5AFFBEFC9FFC799AF3FBD9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
