Xyleborus judenkoi (Schedl) , restored name

Xyleborus judenkoi Schedl, 1959

Coptodryas judenkoi (Schedl) : Wood and Bright, 1992 unnecessary transfer

Specimens examined. Sri Lanka, Sabargamuva (holotype, NHMW); Sri Lanka, Sabargamuva (paratype, NHMW, 2 indiv.); New Guinea, Madang Prov. (2, Hulcr det., MSUC).

Comments. Transfer to Coptodryas by Wood and Bright (1992) was incorrect. X. judenkoi lacks mesonotal mycangium, has visible scutellum, strial punctuation in lines, and sparse vestiture. Its placement in Xyleborus is tentative, as it differs in many characters: has antennal club type 3, submentum nearly flat, mesosternal posterocoxal process flat, tubercles on declivity all evenly small, evenly distributed on all interstriae except 1. Holotype and paratypes of X. judenkoi do not correspond to original description ( Schedl 1959), which indicated that declivity commences in the middle of the elytral length. Declivity starts in the posterior 3/4 or 4/5 of the elytra.
