Taxonomy:
The
holotype
of
Xyleborus miyazakiensis
is listed by Murayama as being deposited in his collection. Examination of Murayama’s collection at NMNH revealed that the type was missing. The species description is detailed and unambiguously matches the
lectotype
of
X. armipennis
(NHMW), images of the
Xyleborus wakayamensis
holotype
(
NIAES 2018
) as well as three non-type specimens from
China
(MSUC). The species has the characters of
Cyclorhipidion
given above for
C. bispinum
, and is, therefore, transferred to that genus.
