Treatment

Hylesinus porcatus Chapuis, 1869: 31 View in CoL .

Ficicis porcatus (Chapuis) : Beaver 1991: 91.

Hylesinus subcostatus Eggers, 1923: 137 View in CoL . Synonymy: Nunberg 1956: 210.

Schedl (1951a) reported this species as Hylesinus subcostatus Eggers View in CoL from Tutuila (Amouli and Fagatogo). The species occurs in the Oriental region, but has a more easterly distribution than F. despectus ( Beaver & Liu 2010) View in CoL , and is widely distributed in the Pacific islands.

Remarks: Wood & Bright (1992) synonymized this species with Ficicis despectus without giving reasons, and without indicating that it was a new synonym; Beaver & Liu (2010) consider it a distinct species with H. subcostatus a synonym.

Current survey records: American Samoa: Tutuila Isl.: Malaeimi; Ta‘ū Isl.: Faleasao.
