REMARKS

Lophoturus , as reassessed by Condé & Nguyen Duy- Jacquemin (1977: 909-911), is a senior synonym of Alloproctinus Jeekel, 1963 (a replacement name for Alloproctus Silvestri, 1948 ). It is characterized by 0 to 4 pairs of linguiform processes on each side of median opening of labrum and antennal article VI with 3 thick sensilla, named anterior (a) intermediate (i) and posterior (p) ( Ishii et al. 1999: 252, key).
