Abstract
The following new generic synonymy is proposed: Coptodryas Hopkins (=Microperus Wood), Cyrtogenius Strohmeyer (=Carpophloeus Schedl, Taphroborus Nunberg), Glostatus Schedl (=Ctonocryphus Schedl, Rhopalocryphus Nunberg), Hylurgops LeConte (=Hylescerites Schedl), Hypothenemus Westwood (=Ernophloeus Nunberg), Monarthrum Kirsch (=Eupteroxylon Eggers), Terminalinus Hopkins (=Kelantanius Nunberg), Xylechinus Chapuis (=Pruniphagus Murayama), Xylocleptes Ferrari (=Hylonius Nunberg). New combinations include: Pityophthorus anticus Schedl is transferred to Araptus; Hylesinus machilus Schedl is transferred to Phloeosinus; Phloeophthorus acaciae Lea is transferred to Phloeotribus; Blastophagus squamosus Schedl is transferred to Polygraphus; Chramesus semibrunneus Eggers is transferred to Pseudochramesus; Dacryophthorus capensis Schedl is transferred to Xylechinus; Pseudochramesus imperialis Schedl is transferred to Xylechinus ; and Hoplitontus abyssinicus Schedl is transferred to Xylocleptes. New specific synonymy includes: Hypothenemus sundaensis (Eggers) (=Ernophloeus costalimai Nunberg). A note on the South American Hylesinus antipodius Schedl is included. New names are proposed as follows: Hylesinopsis kenyae for africanus (Schedl 1963) (from Alniphagus) and Hylesinopsis ugandae for africanus (Schedl 1965) (from Hylesinus). Species described as new to science include: Ambrosiodmus ferns (Mexico), Ambrosiodomus paucus (Costa Rica), Carphoborus bicornis (USA), Chaetophloeus pouteriae (Mexico), Cnemonyx euphorbiae (Mexico), Corthylus convexifrons (Venezuela), Corthylus senticosus (Mexico), Corthylus sentosus (Mexico), Cryptocarenus pubescens (Brazil), Cryptocarenus spatulatus (Mexico), Dendrocranulus mexicanus (Mexico), Hylesinus caseariae (Mexico), Pityophthorus levis (USA), and Trischidias exigua (Mexico).
