Previous genus:
Xyleborus
Discussion.
A specimen labeled "
Xyleborus taichuensis
n. sp.
MS
Type
Eggers" is deposited in USNM. It is not mentioned by
Anderson & Anderson (1971)
.
Wood & Bright (1992)
indicate the existence of
Xyleborus taichuensis
Schedl 1952
. A representative of Schedl's species was not available for examination. The validity and identity of
X. taichuensis
remains uncertain. The manuscript
type
of
X. taichuensis
Eggers
in USNM is nearly destroyed - it lack limbs, antennae and is mounted in over-abundance of glue. The elytral declivity, which is the only available body part with informative characters, appears to be of the same
type
as in
Diuncus haberkorni
: the spines in 2nd and 3rd interstriae are conical, not pointed, the ones in interstriae 3 positioned lower on the declivity.
