Typus Lathrobium / Chicago NHMus M.Bernhauer Collection / Lobrathium scabripenne (Sharp) , Gusarov det. 1990" ( FMNH ) . Comment: The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes , among them at least one male , from " Japan : Unzen bei Shimabara; Nordwestl. China : Chinkiang" ( BERNHAUER 1938 ). Two female syntypes , which had been studied by V.I. Gusarov approximately 20 years ago, were located in the Bernhauer collection at the FMNH. Whether or not the type specimens from Japan and China are conspecific can be clarified only when the material from China is available for study. At present the whereabouts of this material, which may include the male seen by Bernhauer, is unknown. The two examined specimens from Japan clearly belong to Lobrathium , not to Lathrobium GRAVENHORST 1802 . The supramarginal line of the elytra is distinct. According to Vladimir Gusarov´s identification labels attached to the specimens, L. cylindricum is conspecific with, and consequently a junior synonym of Lathrobium scabripenne SHARP 1874 . However, before such a synonymy is proposed, the type material of L. scabripenne and the syntype material of L. cylindricum from China will have to be examined.
