Topic: couple of new beetle species

Hi Chris - some new beetle species from the latest Coleopterist (Vol 26 Part 2). I'm only desperate for the first one, but I guess other people will be interested in the others!

Tomoglossa brakmani Scheerpeltz, 1963
Dilacra lindbergiella (Brundin, 1948)
Ozognathus cornutus (LeConte, 1859)
Anthonomus spilotus Redtenbacher, 1847
Pogonocherous caroli Mulsant, 1863

I believe the junior synonymy - Stenichnus barnevillei (Reitter, 1884) - mentioned in the issue is correct (but worth checking!) - however the date needs correcting from 1884 to 1885 (it was incorrect in Duff).

Re: couple of new beetle species

Hi Charlie - are all these new taxa? What exactly is the junior synonymy issue with Stenichnus barnevillei (Reitter, 1884)? Sorry but I don't have access to the Coleopterist when I'm working at home. :)

Vice-versa for me! I'll check.
