mucronatus Boheman, 1858: 63 View in CoL –64. ( Agrilus View in CoL ; preoccupied) luzonicus Kerremans, 1914: 84 View in CoL –85. ( Agrilus View in CoL ) new synonym piperi Fisher, 1921: 356 View in CoL , 362–364. ( Agrilus View in CoL ) new synonym

Agrilus acanthopterus Harold. Proposed View in CoL as a replacement name for mucronatus Boheman. Saunders (1871: 122) View in CoL proposed it as a junior subjective synonym of A. acutus View in CoL .

Agrilus mucronatus Boheman. Number View in CoL of syntypes is unknown. Types have not been located. The name mucronatus Boheman View in CoL is a junior primary homonym of A. mucronatus Klug, 1825 View in CoL .

Type locality. [ Philippines, Luzon] Manila.

Agrilus luzonicus Kerremans. Lectotype ɗ, MNHN, by present designation,: “Los Banos, P. I., Baker [p] \ luzonicus Kerr. Type [h] \ MUSEUM PARIS COLL. CH. KERRE MANS 1923 [p] [yellow label]” and eight paralectotypes. Number of syntypes is unknown.

Type locality. [ Philippines] Luzon, Los Baños [14°11'N, 121°11'E].

Agrilus piperi Fisher. Holotype by monotypy, ɗ, USNM: “Lamao Luzon III–VI. 11 PI [p] \ CVPiper Collector [p] \ Type No. [p] 51459 [h] U. S. N. M. [p] [red label] \ HOLO TYPE [p] [red ink] AGRILUS piperi FISHER [h] [white label with red border]”.

Type locality. [ Philippines] Luzon, Lamao [14°31'N, 120°36'E].

Remarks. All specimens I have examined from the Philippines belong to a single species determined under the names A. luzonicus or A. piperi . Although the type of A. mucronatus was not examined, judged from the type locality “Manila”, the name mucronatus is the oldest available name for this Philippine species. Due to its preoccupation, the valid name is its replacement name acanthopterus .

All Philippine records cited under the name A. acutus or its synonyms pertain to A. acanthopterus , for example Saunders 1874: 324 (as A. acutus ).

Specimens examined. PHILIPPINES: Luzon: 1 ɗ (NMPC): “Mt. Makiling [14°08'N, 121°12'E] Baker [leg.]”; 1 ɗ (EJCB): “Mt. Makiling [14°08'N, 121°12'E], Laguna P.
