Choeromorpha brunneomaculata ( Breuning, 1935 )

Medina, Milton Norman D., Villegas, Jhonnel P., Barsevskis, Arvids & Vitali, Francesco, 2023, Catalog of the genus Choeromorpha Chevrolat, 1849 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) in the Philippines with description of a new species from Luzon Island, Zootaxa 5375 (4), pp. 574-581 : 576

Choeromorpha brunneomaculata ( Breuning, 1935) removed from Philippine fauna.

Breuning, 1935: 272; Breuning, 1938: 385; Breuning, 1939: 500; Breuning, 1959: 67.

Distribution: The species was described from ‘Patadalu’, which Breuning doubtfully indicated in the Philippines. However, this is erroneous since there is no Barangay, Municipality, Province, or even mountain ecosystem in the Philippines named Patadalu. In fact, Patadalu is located in Indonesia, Sumba Island (Cf. Förster-Schopfheim, 1897; Seehausen & Theischinger, 2017); thus, Choeromorpha brunneomaculata has to be removed from the Philippine fauna.

Type and depository information: Achoeromorpha brunneomaculata Breuning, 1935 , holotype male, NRM .
