Andrzej Ślipiński, 2007

Andrzej Ślipiński 2007:92 . Type species: Andrzej antennatus Ślipiński, 2007 , by original designation.

Diagnosis. This monotypic genus is based on a single male specimen that has 11 antennomeres and the terminal antennomere extremely large and elongate (length more than 2× width).

Remarks. In a more recent work by Pang and Ślipiński (2009), another species, Diomus sedani (Blackburn,1889) , is diagnosed with similar proportions to the terminal antennomere, although less enlarged overall than that of A. antennatus . Unfortunately, the latter species is known from females only, so characteristics of the male genitalia diagnosed for Andrzej cannot be compared with it. Ślipiński (2007) indicates that the antennal club of A. antennatus consists of a single antennomere; however, we observed that the antennomeres gradually increase in width beginning with antennomere 9, and therefore consider that the last 3 antennomeres together constitute the club.
