Treatment

Diuncus adossuarius (Schedl 1951) comb. n.

Previous genus: Xyleborus

Diagnosis: Two small recurved spines on each elytron. Declivity surface shagreened, dull, interstriae often slightly elevated, each with a line of minute granules. Elytral disc surrounding the teeth tends to be flat or concave (impressed). Declivity with minute appressed setae.

Length: 2.3–2.5 mm.

Discussion. Named by Eggers, but name, description, and illustration were published by Schedl (1952a). Schedl (1952a) relates the species to X. dossuarius Eggers ( Vietnam, Philippines), but mentioned its larger size, longer elytral disc, shorter declivity and the presence of fine pubescence. Wood & Bright (1992) indicate the year of description as 1952, however to our knowledge the description was published in 1951.

Biology: Described and previously known only from Philippines.

Examined material: New Guinea, Owen Stanley Range, Goilala, (BBM); Philippines, Luzon, (holotype, NHMW); Philippines, Luzon, (paratype, NHMW); Philippines, Luzon, (co-type, USNM).
