Remarks. The lectotype of Chiloneus murinus is 4.88 mm long and it clearly belongs to the genus Sericopholus Desbrochers des Loges, 1893. It differs from Chiloneus by the absence of posteriorly carinate frontoepistomal area and from Myochlamys by well rounded, laterally prominent humeri and very small, glabrous scutellum. It is conspecific in the genus Sericopholus with S. triangulifer (Desbrochers des Loges, 1903), thus S. triangulifer is a subjective junior synonymy of S. murinus, syn. nov.
