Anoplognathus porosus (Dalman, 1817)

Rutela porosa Dalman, 1817 (in Schönherr 1817: 63)

Anoplognathus inustus Kirby, 1819: 405 ; Burmeister 1844: 445 (synonymy)

Anoplognathus pectoralis Burmeister, 1844: 443 ; Carne 1957: 115 (synonymy)

Anoplognathus luridus Arrow, 1901: 396 ; Carne 1957: 115 (synonymy)

Types. Rutela porosa Dalman, 1817 : lectotype (present designation): ♀: “ Nov : Holland //NHRS-JLKB / 000029805” (NHRS).

Remarks. A lectotype is designated here for Rutela porosus ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 I–L) to fix the species identity. Type material of Anoplognathus porosus was not seen by Carne (1957) but he correctly interpreted the species. The validity of the synonymization of A. inustus with A. porosus by Burmeister (1844) as well as A. pectoralis and A. luridus with A. porosus by Carne (1957), was not examined in this work.

Anoplognathus porosus occurs from Victoria to northern Queensland and is a common species around Sydney (AMS). It is similar to A. olivieri but females lack the lateral elytral expansion and the pygidium is bronze-green, with a border of recumbent white setae ( Reid & Smith 2016; Burleigh & Reid 2017).
