Siphonorhinidae Cook, 1895
Remarks.
The specimens (
Notorhinus floresi
sp. nov.
and
Notorhinus
sp. (MNHNC 8390)) can be placed in the family
Siphonorhinidae
based on the following characters: Head pyriform, not extended into beak (rostrum) (Figs
3A
,
8A
); antennae elbowed; antennomere 2 longer than wide (Figs
3B
,
8C
); gnathochilarium consisting of separate plates (Figs
3G
,
8B
); anterior margin of collum straight (compare
Enghoff et al. 2015
;
Marek et al. 2016
). According to a key provided by
Shelley (1996
: 23) members of the family
Siphonorhinidae
lack sensory pits on antennomeres 5 and 6 (see also
Marek et al. 2012
), as is the case in the specimens studied here (Figs
3E
,
8C
). However, lack of these sensory pits seems to apply only to the North American genus
Illacme
(
Marek et al. 2012
,
2016
), the Malagasy genus
Madagascarhinus
(
Wesener 2023
) and the South African genus
Nematozonium
(
Shelley and Hoffman 2004
), as these sensory pits have been reported for
Siphonorhinus
(
Attems 1930
,
1938
) and
Kleruchus
(Attems, 1938).
