Hulcr, Jiri, 2010, New genera of Palaeotropical Xyleborini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) based on congruence between morphological and molecular characters, Zootaxa 2717, pp. 1-33 : 16-17

Euwallacea funereus (Lea) , comb. n.

Xyleborus funereus Lea, (1910)

Ambrosiodmus funereus (Lea) : Wood and Bright, 1992 (complete taxonomic history in Wood and Bright, 1992) Specimens examined. Philippines, Bolivac (compared to type by Schedl, NHMW); Malaysia, Sabah, Danum Valley (2, Hulcr det., MSUC); New Guinea, New Britain ( X. nepos , syn. of E. funereus, Wood det., BBM); New Guinea (1, Hulcr det., FICB); New Guinea, Madang Prov. (26, Hulcr det., MSUC), Oro Prov. (4, Hulcr det., MSUC).

Comments. Placement of E. funereus in Euwallacea is supported by both morphological as well as molecular phylogenetic analyses ( Fig. 9 , Cognato et al., 2011).
