Notes on types.

Plochionus pradieri Fairmaire. The original publication didn’t indicate this species was described based on single specimen, and only mentioned the type locality Tahiti in the title. In the collection of MNHN, we found a male from the collection of Fairmaire bearing his determination label and a “type” label. We herein designate this specimen as lectotype ( Fig. 65 ) for taxonomic purpose of fixing the name to unique name-bearing type.

Saronychium inconspicuum Blackburn. Blackburn (1877) didn’t indicate this species was described based on single specimen, and only mentioned the locality "On the plains near Honolulu". In the collection of NHML, we found a male fitting well with the original description and labeled as type. We herein designate this specimen as lectotype ( Fig. 66 ) for taxonomic purpose of fixing the name to unique name-bearing type.

Endynomena huebneri Fairmaire and Thyreopterus paroecus Csiki. We did not find syntypes nor designate lectotypes for these two synonyms.

Diagnosis.

Dorsal side uniform brownish; pronotal base hardly lobed; elytral striae indistinct, intervals not convex; 7th interval with several setigerous pores. This species is similar to Orionella lewisii . The differences are presented in the diagnosis part of the genus Orionella .

Description.

Male genitalia with median lobe of aedeagus tubular, laterally compressed, slightly bent; in dorsal view, strongly bent to right side; apical orifice with basal two-thirds surrounded by long setae; apical lamella very small, placed at right side of apex, apex rounded. Internal sac with main flagellum very short, only reaching basal one-third of median lobe; trumpet-form expansion indistinct, very small and narrow; secondary flagellum weakly sclerotized, half length of median lobe; internal sac with two scaled areas, one near base, adjacent to trumpet-form expansion, the other one near middle, just after the termination of main flagellum ( Fig. 94 ). Female genitalia. Apical segment of ovipositor slightly widened, length three times basal width; apex slightly rounded; sides nearly parallel, base nearly as wide as apex; apical one-third finely setose; membranous extension very narrow, placed on the outer side of apex ( Fig. 125 ). Inner structure of reproductive system not studied.

Detailed description of external characters has been provided by Habu (1979b).
