Fig. 9

Hyorrhynchus pilosus Eggers, 1936: 81 .

Type material. Paratype, female, [Indonesia] Java, Salatiga, 600 m, 10.XI.1922, L.G.E. Kalshoven, USNMENT_ 01595294 (NMNH), examined .

Other specimens examined. [ Indonesia]: Sumatra, G. Sinngalang, S of Bukittinggi. 14-16ii1991, 1300m. Bocák & Bocáková lgt. (1, NMB) . Laos: Bolikhamxai Prov. 18°21’N, 105°08’E, Nape (8 km NE), ~600m, Vit Kubán leg. (1, NMB) ; Hua Phan Prov. 20°12’N, 104°01’E, Phu Phan Mt., ~1750m, 17v-3vi2007, Vit Kubán leg. (1, NMB) ; Phongsaly Prov., 21°41’N, 102°6’E, Phongsaly env., 6-17v2004, ~1500m, Vit Kubán leg (1, NMB) . Additional records in Table 1.

Diagnosis. Length 1.6–1.95 mm, 2.13–2.4 × longer than wide (n = 5); declivital interstriae bearing minute granules; first fifth of elytral base granulate; main elytral interstrial setae and ground vestiture subequal (> width of interstria); ground vestiture longer than width of an interstria.

Distribution. Occurring in southern China * (Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong), Laos * (Bolikhamxai, Hua Pha, Phongsaly), Thailand * (Trang), southern Vietnam * (Vinh Phuc) and Indonesia (Java, Sumatra *). Possibly with a more southerly distribution than S. niisimai . Introduced to Martinique.

Hosts. Reported from Bombacaceae, Litsea glutinosa ( Lauraceae). Presumably mycetophagous.

Remarks. Schedl (1962: 202) placed S. pilosus in synonymy with S. niisimai without an explicit reason. Reciprocal monophyly, greater than 10% COI nucleotide difference, and morphological diagnostic characters support the restored status of S. pilosus .
