NEW SYNONYMY
The names here placed into synonymy were described within weeks of each other according to the exact publication dates given within the respective journals (
I. michellae
on
22 March 2006
and
I. kirchneri
on
15 April 2006
). The description and illustrations correspond and fall within the parameters of a single species. This is the smallest species in the genus and it can be readily separated from the others by its unique elytral punctation, which is denser on the disc. Also, males possess a well-developed temporal process, a character that varies between species in the genus.
Incadorcus michellae
is sympatric with
I. zugeri
whereas both species were recorded from Huánuco and collected near Chinchao and Carpish (all in
Peru
).
