Breuning (1965)
created the genus
Trichorondonia
for
T
.
hybolasioides
Breuning, 1965
.
Lazarev (2021)
created the subgenus
Pogonocherus
(
Neopogonocherus
)
to include
Pogonocherus pilosipes
Pic, 1907
. Comparing photographs of the
holotypes
of
P
.
pilosipes
(
Fig. 1
) and
T
.
hybolasioides
(
Figs 2–3
), we consider these two species to belong to the same genus based on the following features: antennae distinctly longer than body; basal eight antennomeres fringed with long white setae ventrally; prothorax transverse, with a strongly conical tubercle on each side; pronotum with a pair of conical tubercles on anterior sides of anterior half, covered with dense, short, white or pale brown pubescence; elytra elongated, distinctly broader than prothorax at base, gradually narrowed from base to apical third, abruptly narrowed from this point toward apex; elytral apex notched, marginal angles protruded and slightly pointed outwards, sutural angles rounded; each elytron covered with several lines of sparse, sub-rounded and coarse punctures, sparser after middle, with a sinuous dorsal carinae from basal half to apex, and humeral carina distinct from base to apex; elytral surface covered with sparse, erect and long dark brown setae, and sparse, erect and long white setae laterally; femora strongly clavate; tibiae covered with sparse and long white setae.
Therefore,
Pogonocherus
(
Neopogonocherus
)
Lazarev, 2021
is considered a junior synonym of
Trichorondonia
Breuning, 1965
