Coptoborus artetenuis (Schedl): Wood and Bright 1992: 662.

Type material.

Holotype (NHMB), not examined and potentially lost (see remarks).

New records.

None.

Diagnosis.

1.85 mm, 2.9 × as long as wide ( Schedl 1973). This species is distinguished by the elytral apex attenuate and weakly emarginate, declivital interstriae 2 convex, declivital interstriae 1 and 3 denticulate and interstriae 2 unarmed, elytral apex deeply emarginate, declivity gradual, occupying at least posterior 50% of declivity, 1.85 mm and 2.9 × as long as wide. This species is most similar to C. exilis which lacks granules or denticles on declivital interstriae 2.

Similar species.

C. exilis , C. pseudotenuis .

Biology.

Unknown.

Remarks.

Schedl (1973) stated that the holotype was deposited in NHMB. The specimen is not there, nor in Schedl’s collection in NHMW ( Schedl 1979; Wood 2007). Wood (2007) reported it from MZUSP but this is not confirmed.
