Zeugophorella gracilicornis ( Medvedev, 1996) comb. nov.

Pedrilliomorpha gracilicornis Medvedev, 1996: 68 (type locality: “ Irian Jaya: Jayawijaya, Nalca, 1900-2100 m ”).

Type material. HOLOTYPE J (glued): “ Irian Jaya:Jayawi- | jaya, Nalca 1900- | 8.9.1992 2100 m | leg.A.RIEDEL [pale violet, printed and cardboard label] || Holotypus [red, handwritten and cardboard label] || Holotypus | Pedrilliomorpha [handwritten] | gracilicornis [handwritten] | m.

Distribution. Indonesia: Papua : Jayawijaya province ( MEDVEDEV 1996).

Note. MEDVEDEV (1996) separated this species from similarly colored Z. riedeli and Z. clypealis by its smaller size and feebly serrate antennae. It is true that the only specimen of Z. gracilicornis has thiner and less markedly serrate antennae, and being smaller in size than both congeners, however, its is a male while the other two species were described from females. Zeugophorella gracilicornis is very similar to Z. riedeli except for its size and form of the antennae, however, these are perhaps sexually dimorphic characters. Quite likely, Zeugophorella gracilicornis is just a male of Z. riedeli . However, we do not propose their synonymy until we have the opportunity to examine more material.
