Xylomimus Bates, 1865 (Onciderini)

Nearns, Eugenio H. & Swift, Ian P., 2011, New taxa and combinations in Onciderini Thomson, 1860 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), Insecta Mundi 2011 (192), pp. 1-27 : 18-25

Xylomimus Bates, 1865 (Onciderini) , new transference

( Figures 10 a-c)

Discussion. Specimens of Xylomimus baculus Bates, 1865 ( Fig. 10 a-c) are rare in collections; however, examination of two specimens, including the type specimen deposited at the MNHN, revealed that it

shares more characters with Onciderini than Apomecynini . Therefore, we propose the transference of Xylomimus from Apomecynini to Onciderini .
