Diuncus haddeni
(
Schedl 1933b
)
comb. n.
Previous genus:
Xyleborus
Diagnosis:
A relatively large
Diuncus
. Very similar to many representatives of
D. haberkorni
, except the elytral spine in interstria 2 is minute, only the spine in interstria 3 is large. Both are pointed, not conical, and at the very summit of declivity.
Length: 2.0–
2.3 mm
.
Discussion.
Several characters differ between the
holotype
from
Philippines
and the specimens from New
Guinea
, such as the bulging elytral disc. Monophyly of this morphotype is uncertain. Described by
Schedl (1933a)
as allied to
X. dossuarius
,
X. javanus
and
X. quadrispinosulus
. The most similar are
D. haberkorni
and
D. gorggae
from New
Guinea
, which were not mentioned by Schedl.
Examined material:
Philippines
, Luzon, Mt. Makiling (
