Treatment

Polymerus rugulus ( Ballard, 1927) View in CoL

Poeciloscytus rugulus Ballard, 1927: 64–65 View in CoL .

Polymerus rugulus Carvalho, 1959: 239 View in CoL .

Up to this point only the holotype of this species was collected. Now the holotype is presumed lost in BMNH. Characters of colouration listed in the original description does not allow unequivocal placement of this species in any genus considered in current paper. P. rugulus View in CoL was described on the same page as P. aureus Ballard, 1927 transferred into Charagochilus View in CoL below. Most likely P. rugulus View in CoL also belongs to this genus. The absence of recognised species of Polymerus View in CoL outside of the Palaearctic Region of the Eastern Hemisphere can be taken as evidence that this species to belongs in Charagochilus View in CoL .
