Description

Debus spinicornis (Schedl), comb. n.

Xyleborus spinicornis Schedl, 1975b

Specimens examined. New Guinea, Milne Bay, Gwariu River (holotype, NHMW); New Guinea, Bodem (2, Hulcr det. BBM); New Guinea, Oro Prov. (35, Hulcr det., MSUC).

Comments. Placement of D. spinicornis in Debus was confirmed by a molecular analysis (100% posterior probability, Cognato et al., 2011). Schedl (1975b) indicated deposition of holotype in AMNH, but the type resides in NHMW.
