A key to the 48 species recognized is provided and descriptions and photographs of the species. <em>Sinoxylon convexicauda </em>Lesne, 1932b <strong>stat. nov.</strong> and <em>S. spathiferum</em> Lesne, 1906 <strong>stat. nov.</strong> are raised to species from subspecies of <em>S. marseuli </em>Lesne, 1895 and <em>S. transvaalense </em>Lesne, 1895 respectively. The following synonymy is proposed: <em>Sinoxylon rejectum</em> (Hope, 1845) (= <em>S. eucerum </em>Lesne, 1932b <strong>syn. nov.</strong>= <em>S. japonicum </em>Lesne, 1895 <strong>syn. nov.</strong>); <em>Sinoxylon tignarium</em> Lesne, 1902 (= <em>S. mangiferae</em> Chūjō, 1936 <strong>syn. nov.= </strong><em>Sinoxylon pygmaeum annamitumi </em>Lesne, 1938<strong> syn. nov.</strong>); <em>Sinoxylon ruficorne </em>Fåhraeus, 1872 (= <em>S. erasicauda</em> Lesne, 1906 <strong>syn. nov.= </strong><em>Sinoxylon ruficorne guineense </em>Lesne, 1906 <strong>syn. nov.</strong>); <em>Sinoxylon ceratoniae </em>(L., 1758) (= <em>S. succisum</em> Lesne, 1895 <strong>syn. nov.</strong>); <em>S. doliolum</em> Lesne, 1906 (=<em>S. cuneolus</em> Lesne, 1906 <strong>syn. nov.</strong>)<strong>; </strong><em>Sinoxylon atratum </em>Lesne, 1897 (= S<em>inoxylon atratum kohlarianum</em> Lesne, 1906 <strong>syn. nov.</strong>). It is confirmed that <em>Apatodes macleayi </em>Blackburn, 1889 <strong>nonem oblitum</strong> is conspecific with <em>Sinoxylon anale</em> Lesne, 1897 <strong>nomen protectum</strong>.</span></span></span></p> <p> </p> LAN-YU LIU Copyright (c) 2026 2026-01-23 2026-01-23 5751 1 1 68 10.11646/zootaxa.5751.1.1
