Irenimus

Brown, Samuel D. J., 2017, A revision of the New Zealand weevil genus Irenimus Pascoe, 1876 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae), Zootaxa 4263 (1), pp. 1-42 : 33

Irenimus sec. Brown

The narrow concept of Irenimus sec. Brown presented in this paper includes only two previously described species—the type species I. parilis Pascoe and I. duplex (Broun) —with the result that Irenimus sec. Brown overlaps with Catoptes sec. Broun and Irenimus sec. Kuschel by only these two species ( Figures 98 & 99 ). Irenimus sec. Brown includes Irenimus sec. Pascoe.

Figures

FIGURE 98. Taxonomic concept alignment showing the relationship between Catoptes sec. Broun and Chalepistes sec. Brown. Yellow octagons: concepts unique to Broun. Green rectangles: concepts unique to Brown. Grey rounded rectangles: congruent concepts shared between the two authors. Solid black, arrowed lines: inclusion relationships between concepts. Thick blue dashed lines: strongly overlapping concepts. Thin blue dotted lines: narrowly overlapping concepts.

FIGURE 99. Taxonomic concept alignment showing the relationship between Irenimus sec. Kuschel and Chalepistes sec. Brown. Green octagons: concepts unique to Kuschel. Green rectangles: concepts unique to Brown. Grey rounded rectangles: congruent concepts shared between the two authors. Solid black, arrowed lines: inclusion relationships between concepts. Thick blue dashed lines: strongly overlapping concepts. Thin blue dotted lines: narrowly overlapping concepts. Suffix “ _ imp ” show taxa not formally combined with Irenimus by Kuschel (1969), but which were strongly implied.
