| Dear Dr. Xaurus, unluckily many specimens from timbers of old world are not showed digitally on internet. And I have no access to type specimens. |

Sorry, I have written the wrong name in the type section, it's: Escharodes interruptus Pascoe, 1864 (Xavier, please change your comments acc.)
Zhu: you haven't access to the type section ? |

Zhu, you do have the access to the section of type for a while.
Coming back to the topic, Ischioplites differs from Prosoplus in antennomere 4 longer than 3 (as long as or a bit longer than in Prosoplus) and for the presence of a basal bump on elytra (present is Escharodes as well).
Moreover, Ischioplites metutus shows a longely spined elytral apex, which is however simply acute in Ischioplites yorkensis Breuning.
Ischioplites, xxx, Escharodes
Certainly, your species is not Ischioplites metutus.
Considering the differences, Escharodes and Ischioplites are probably synonyms. |
