Cabras, Analyn A. & Mainda, Tobias, 2023, Two new species of the genus Metapocyrtus Heller, 1912 from the islands of Homonhon and Mindanao, Philippines, with taxonomic notes (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Entiminae, Pachyrynchini), Zootaxa 5323 (3), pp. 409-417 : 415

Metapocyrtus (Sclerocyrtus) latinasus Heller, 1925 , new subgeneric placement ( Figs 3 A–E )

Metapocyrtus (Artapocyrtus) latinasus Heller, 1925: 182 f.

Type locality. Philippines: Socorro (Bucas Grande Island) .

Type depository. SMTD .

Material examined. Paratype J, labeled: “Bucas, Socorro” (hand-written on yellow card); “1924” (typed on yellow card); Paratype (typed on red card); “Staatl. Museum für / Tierkunde Dresden” (typed on white card).

Remarks. Heller (1925) mistakenly placed the species under the subgenus Artapocyrtus . Upon examination of the type specimens at SMTD, we would like to propose transferring the species to the subgenus Sclerocyrtus based on the characters mentioned by Schultze (1925). The male genitalia of the species is presented in Figs 3 C–D .
