Sabatinelli, Guido, 2020, Taxonomic notes on the genus Cyphochilus Waterhouse, 1867 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, Melolonthinae) with description of 10 new species, Revue suisse de Zoologie 127 (1), pp. 157-181 : 178-180

Dasylepida testaceipes ( Fairmaire, 1902) n. comb.

Fig. 13

Cyphochilus testaceipes Fairmaire, 1902: 316 .

Type material examined: Lectotype by present designation: MNHN; 1 ♀; CHINA: // Cyphochilus / testaceipes / Fairm China (H) // Foucheou [Fujan: Fou-Tcheou] (H) // Type (P on red) // Muséum Paris / 1906 / coll. Leon Fairmaire //. ( Fig. 13 ).

Remarks: The type specimen has a symmetrically bilobed clypeus and the body has very few scales and several setae. Therefore, it does not belong to genus Cyphochilus but to genus Dasylepida Moser, 1913 . Dasylepida testaceipes is probably a synonym of one of the species described from east China but this needs to be further investigated.
