The tribe Caenoculini Sun & McCafferty, 2008 is revised, now including the genera CaenoculisSoldán, 1986, and Tigrocercus Malzacher, 2006. Improved diagnoses of these two genera are given. Caenoculis dangiSoldán, 1986 is transferred to the genus Tigrocercus and Tigrocercus nastassjaeMalzacher, 2013 to the genus Caenoculis. Caenoculis acutalisZhou, Sun & Mccafferty, 2003 is regarded as representative of a separate genus Brachoculisn. gen. A diagnosis of the new genus is given. Relationships within the Brachycercinae are discussed.
The female and the ootheca of the Philippine endemic Tagalomantis manillensis (Saussure, 1870) are described and illustrated for the first time. The male is re-described in detail. The species was so far only known from the island of Luzon, but also occurs in suitable habitats on Panay. Although locally relatively abundant, it is confined to primary and old secondary rainforests and threatened by habitat loss. The life history of Panay populations is outlined. The name Euchomenellini Giglio-Tos, 1916 is proposed for the oriental members of Angelinae (Euchomenella, Indomenella and Tagalomantis). The tribus is placed among Deroplatyinae due to morphological and genital characters. CotigaonopsisVyjayandi, 2009 is transferred to Rivetinini. A key to the genera of Deroplatyinae is provided.
The following new species from Malaysia/Borneo are described: Microbolitonaeus loeblin. sp., Thesilea bosuangin. sp., and T. convexicollisn. sp. New combination: Zophophilus bosuangi (Grimm, 2016) n. comb. = Promethis bosuangiGrimm, 2016. The male of Ceropria speciosissimaGebien, 1914 is described. Platydema becvariSchawaller, 2004 is recorded for the first time from Borneo. New faunistic data of five further species are added.
Ceropria adelpha n. sp. from West Malaysia and C. foveata n. sp. from Sumatra are described, illustrated, and compared with the similar species C. speciosissimaGebien, 1914. The male of C. adelpha is distinguished by different shape of elytral mucro and aedeagus, different structure of last abdominal ventrite, and densely punctured elytral striae. The female is unknown. C. foveata is known only from the female, but the species is readily identifiable by foveate outer punctural rows of elytra.
Twelve species of Bornean Cryptocephalini are described as new for science: Coenobius matangin. sp., C.sabahensisn. sp., C. sarawacensisn. sp., C. schawallerin. sp., Cryptocephalus borneoensisn. sp., Cr. geiserin. sp., Cr. klimenkoin. sp., Cr. nigrofulvusn. sp., Cr. nitidicornisn. sp., Cr. sepilocusn. sp., Cr. subcostipennisn. sp., and Cr. subserricornisn. sp. The genus BucharisBaly, 1865 is recorded from Borneo for the first time. CryptocephalusmoultoniBryant, 1954 is transferred to the genus MelixanthusSuffrian, 1854. New replacement names are proposed: Coenobius weiseanusnom. nov. for C. basalisWeise, 1913, and C. picinom. nov. for C. bicolorPic, 1943. Keys for all species of Bornean Cryptocephalini are given.
