On Borboropora pseudoquadriceps and B. mixe

C o m m e n t: Based on the illustrations provided by DELGADO & SANTIAGO- JIMÉNEZ (2009), especially those of the head and pronotum, the generic assignment of B. pseudoquadriceps and B. mixe is evidently erroneous. Neither species has the characteristic head of Borboropora , and morphogical features of the pronotum of B. mixe are completely different from those of Borboropora . In fact, both species are not even congeneric. Hence, based on the illustrations and descriptions in DELGADO & SANTIAGO- JIMÉNEZ (2009), both species are excluded from Borboropora . Their correct generic placement requires revision. In the meantime, B. pseudoquadriceps is tentatively assigned to the genus Anaulacaspis GANGLBAUER, 1895 and B. mixe to Falagrioma CASEY, 1906 .
