)
comb. nov.
Xyleborus crenulatus
Eggers, 1920: 117
.
Xyleborus mpangae
Browne, 1965: 202
.
Schedl 1970: 224
.
Remarks.
The
holotype
of
X. mpangae
(NHMUK)
was examined. The species is transferred to
Arixyleborus
Hopkins, 1915
because of the following characteristics: antennal club obliquely truncate with segment 1 nearly covering the posterior face (type 2), club wider than long; scutellum visible, flush with the elytra; elytral declivity obliquely truncate and bearing strial furrows and interstrial ridges and with six striae. The
holotype
of
X. crenulatus
in the Hagedorn collection in the
Hamburg
Museum was destroyed in World War II (
Schedl 1963
) but images of a specimen determined by Schedl were examined.
Distribution.
‘East Africa’,
Uganda
