Diapus quadrispinosus Schedl, 1969: 218 View in CoL .

Genyocerus quadrispinosus (Schedl) . Beaver, 2000a: 256.

Taxonomy: We have examined two male and two female paratypes (NMW). The species is related to G. pendleburyi View in CoL , G. spinatus View in CoL and G. borneensis ( Beaver 2000a) View in CoL , but can be distinguished by the characters given in the keys.

Distribution: The species is known only from the Philippines, from which it was intercepted in timber imported to Japan. The record by Schedl (1973) from Nepal must be regarded as dubious and is possibly the result of misidentification of G. pendleburyi , which occurs in the area.

Biology: The species was originally taken from 'lauan' wood, probably a species of Shorea (Dipterocarpaceae) .
