Diagnosis
Coriacephilus
can be separated from other
Cryphalini
by the combination of cylindrical third tarsal segments, deeply emarginated eye, antennae with sutures and septum, and bifurcating setae on the hypomeron.
Female
Eye deeply emarginated. Antennae with procurved sutures, the first darker indicating a complete septum. Antennae with four funicular segments. Hypomeron with bifurcating setae in most species. Pronotal disc present and prominent in all species with a mixture of hair-like setae pointing anteriorly. Elytra with flattened interstrial bristles and sparse hair-like interstrial ground vestiture. Proventriculus not examined. Aedeagus not examined.
Male
Unknown.
Distribution
All species are known from Southeast Asia.
Remarks
Five species known. No material was available for the study of internal morphology. All species are known from very few specimens. However, the validity of this genus being separate from
Cryphalus
and
Cosmoderes
is strongly supported with genetic evidence, placing
Coriacephilus coriaceus
as sister to
Xyloterini
. They are morphologically very similar to
Cryphalus
, most easily distinguished by the third tarsal segment which is not emarginated in
Coriacephilus
. A study of the internal morphology, or better genetic resources are needed to provide better diagnostic characters for the reliable determination of this genus.
Figure 8.
Phylogeny of Ernoporini.Tree is made in RAxML, constrained to the tree by
Johnson et al. (2018)
. Support values are not included due to artificial inflation by constraints.The constraint tree is indicated by a bold line. Outgroup taxa are omitted from the figure. Name pre- and post-revision are displayed, with changes marked in bold. Color boxes indicate genera.The type species of a genus is marked with underlined text.
