Type species: Trichohoplorana dureli Breuning, 1961, by original designation. Trichhoplorana Breuning 1977 : 115 (misspelling). Ipochiromima Sama and Sudre 2009 : 384 (replacement name for Mimipochira Breuning, 1982: 25); Loebl and Smetana 2010 : 209. Type species: Mimipochira sikkimensis Breuning, 1982, by original designation. Syn. nov. Redescription. Head distinctly narrower than prothorax, frons with a narrow, median furrow extending from base of clypeus up to apical margin of pronotum; eyes coarsely faceted, lower lobes of eyes distinctly far away from each other and longer than genae; antennae slender, distinctly longer than body, scape strongly expanded before apex, pedicle distinctly longer than broad. Pronotum transverse, with a tubercle on each side, punctured, with a pair of subuliform tubercles at sides of middle; prosternal process broad, with a longitudinal depression in middle, procoxal cavities closed posteriorly. Scutellum linguiform. Elytra covered with black or brown spots and a series of black or brown spots along suture; disc elongate, distinctly broader than pronotum at base, gradually narrow from near apical third, punctured, with a pair of tubercles at base and near scutellum, with a pair of bumps behind the tubercles; humeral angles rounded and slightly processed forward. Mesocoxal cavities closed externally to mesepimera. Femora strongly clavate. Diagnosis. Trichohoplorana is very similar to Neacanista Gressitt, 1940 in having the pronotum with a tubercle at each side, with a pair of tubercles at the sides of the middle, the elytra with a pair of tubercles at the base and near the scutellum, with a pair of bumps behind the tubercles, and a strongly clavate femora. However, Trichohoplorana differs from Neacanista in having the antennal scape strongly expanded before the apex (gradually thickened before the apex in Neacanista ) and the pedicle distinctly longer than broad (broader than long in Neacanista ). Distribution. Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Nepal, Vietnam ( new country record ). Remarks. Breuning (1982) established Mimipochira for M. sikkimensis Breuning, 1982, but this genus was a junior homonym of Mimipochira Breuning, 1956. Hence, Sama and Sudre (2009) introduced the new name Ipochiromima . After comparing photographs of the holotypes of T. dureli Breuning, 1961 (Fig. 1A ) and M. sikkimensis (Fig. 1B, C ), we consider these two species as belonging to the same genus, based on above redescribed characters. Thus, we treat Ipochiromima as a junior synonym of Trichohoplorana . Figure 1.
