Anomophysis coxalis (Gahan, 1900)

( Figs. 4 D–G, 14C , 15F , 16C )

Prinobius coxalis Gahan in Waterhouse et al., 1900: 120 . TL: Christmas Island. Lectotype in BNHM, designated here.

Anomophysis coxalis: Quentin and Villiers, 1981: 361 .

Diagnosis. A. coxalis can be separated from A. australis by its geographic distribution and the elytra yellowish brown with strong venation, especially on the basal half. Male can also be recognised by posteri- or angles of pronotum narrowly rounded, and the anterior angles distinct.

Types. Quentin and Villiers (1981) designated two lectotype specimens for this species, here we specify the lectotype as the male specimen ( BNHM- 010799864) with the following original labels “ Flying Fish Cove , Oct 1897 | Christmas I. , C.W. Andrews, 1898, 98–20 | Prinobius coxalis, Gahan, ♂ , Type ”, the female specimen ( BNHM- 010799827) is here designated as paralectotype, with the following original labels “ Christmas I. , C.W. Andrews, Dec. 1897, 98-20 | Prinobius coxalis Gahan , Type ♀ ”.
