Huang, Gui-Qiang, Zhao, Xin-Xia, Yan, Kai, Li, Song & Zhang, Gui-Mei, 2020, Notes on the genus Paracyriothasastes Breuning, 1978 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae Lamiinae: Lamiini), Zootaxa 4868 (1), pp. 142-146 : 142

Paracyriothasastes Breuning, 1978

Paracyriothasastes Breuning, 1978: 5 . Type species: Cereopsius marmoreus Pascoe, 1857 , by original designation.

Uraechoides Breuning, 1981: 73 . Type species: Uraechoides vivesi Breuning, 1981 , by original designation. syn. nov.

Breuning (1978) removed Cereopsius marmoreus Pascoe, 1857 from Cereopsius Pascoe, 1862 based on the middle tibia having a fairly prominent dorsal groove and established Paracyriothasastes for this species. Breuning (1981) established Uraechoides for Uraechoides vivesi Breuning, 1981 , and placed Uraechoides in the tribe Agniini (a junior synonym of Lamiini ). After comparing photographs of the holotypes of these two species ( Cereopsius marmoreus , Fig. 1 and Uraechoides vivesi , Figs 2–5 ), we consider these two species as identical. Thus Uraechoides Breuning, 1981 should be treated as a junior synonym of Paracyriothasastes Breuning, 1978 .

Distribution. Borneo, West Malaysia, Singapore.
