Chalepistes

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 : 34

Chalepistes sec. Brown

Chalepistes sec. Brown strongly overlaps Catoptes sec. Broun ( Figure 98 ), with only a few taxa of the former that are not included in the latter. Chalepistes sec. Brown is a broader concept, however, with some species of Inophloeus , Brachyolus and Nicaeana (all sec. Broun) also included within Chalepistes sec. Brown ( Figure 98 ). Similarly, Chalepistes sec. Brown overlaps strongly with Irenimus sec. Kuschel ( Figure 99 ).

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.
