Description
Monilonotum eburneocincta (Gorham) comb. nov.
Opilo eburneocinctus Gorham, 1878: 160.
Status of type material. Syntypes not located.
Remarks. Despite neither type material, nor specimens determined to be O. eburneocintus, being found by the first author in Australia or Europe, Gorham (1878) provides clues in his descrition of ‘ eburneocintus ’ as a smaller version of Opilo pascoei with a white ‘raised’ elytral fascia, a red elytral base and a sternum that is not red (as in O. pascoei). The first author is aware of numerous, miniature ‘ pascoei -like’ species with callositous, bullose (i.e., raised) elytral fasciae, though the ventrites of these species range from bright orange to reddish-orange. Despite being confident enough to transfer Opilo eburneocinctus to Monilonotum, we have decided not to describe any of the smaller species as new while the identity of Monilonotum eburneocinta comb. nov. remains unknown.
Distribution (Map 2). New South Wales.
