The Oriental genera of Xyloperthini (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae: Bostrichinae), with a new genus and species from Thailand, and a key to the genera

Abstract

We describe a new genus, Infrantenna gen. nov. and a new species Infrantenna fissilis gen. et sp. nov., from Thailand and briefly review the Oriental genera currently placed in the tribe Xyloperthini Lesne, 1921. A key to the Oriental genera of Xyloperthini is provided.

A new West African genus of Bostrichidae (Coleoptera), and a key to the Afrotropical genera of tribe Xyloperthini

“…The tribe Xyloperthini now includes 37 genera, with 10 genera occurring in the Afrotropical region. Following a series of revisions of genera of the tribe Xyloperthini (Liu et al 2016(Liu et al , 2021Liu & Beaver 2017;Liu 2021;Liu & Sittichaya 2022), this study added to knowledge of the Afrotropical fauna, and provided baseline information for a future study, which will revise the tribe Xyloperthini.…”

“…Since that time many new genera have been added to the tribe (see Introduction). Liu & Sittichaya (2022) provided a key to the Oriental genera of the tribe. Here we add a key to the ten genera present in the Afrotropical region (only the three (ex 17) species of Xylopsocus which occur in the region have been included).…”

“…The tribe Xyloperthini Lesne, 1921 is the most genus-rich tribe in the Bostrichidae Latreille, 1802, and currently includes 36 genera (Borowski & Węgrzynowicz 2007;Park et al 2015;Liu et al 2016;Liu & Beaver 2017;Liu 2021;Liu & Sittichaya 2022;Zhang et al 2022). Nine genera of Xyloperthini are distributed throughout the Afrotropical region.…”
