Cyclorhipidion perlaetum (Schedl) new status, resurrected replacement name

Xyleborus perlaetus (Schedl, 1960a)

Cyclorhipidion pelliculosum Hagedorn, 1912

Specimens examined. Cameroon, Albrechtshohe ( C. pelliculosum Hagedorn , holotype, MNB).

Comments (M. Knizek, pers. comm.): Schedl (1957) synonymized the genus Cyclorhipidion ( Hagedorn, 1912) with Xyleborus ( Eichhoff, 1864) . This resulted in the homonymy of Xyleborus pelliculosus Eichhoff (1878) and Xyleborus pelliculosus , the type species of Cyclorhipidion ( Hagedorn, 1912) , which was solved by Schedl (1960a) by erecting a replacement name Xyleborus perlaetus for the latter species. Wood and Bright (1992) restored the status of Cyclorhipidion , including C. pelliculosum ( Hagedorn, 1912) as a valid species and its replacement name Xyleborus perlaetus Schedl as an unnecessary replacement name. Since Xyleborus pelliculosus Eichhoff is transferred to Cyclorhipidion in this study, it has priority over Cyclorhipidion pelliculosum ( Hagedorn, 1912) . Schedl’s replacement name (Schedl, 1960a) is thus reinstated here as the valid name.

C. perlaetum (Schedl, 1960) is native to Africa ( Cameroon).
