[email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2687-6740 Abstract In the subfamily Erotylinae (Coleoptera: Erotylidae), several nomenclatural concerns in the Australian fauna are corrected for upcoming publications. Spelling and attribution of the genus “Aulacochilus” is discussed and is correctly cited as Aulacocheilus Dejean, 1836. The species Episcaphula tetrastica Lea, 1921, becomes Aulacocheilus leai (Mader, 1934), new combination. Through a previous synonymy of Tritoma australiae Lea, 1922 with Hedista tricolor Weise, 1927, and the subsequent transfer of T. australiae into Spondotriplax Crotch, 1876, the genus Hedista Weise, 1927 is recognized as a synonym of Spondotriplax Crotch, 1876, new synonymy.

The new genus is distinguished from closely related Xenoscelis Woll. and Zavaljus Reitt. by the presence of welldeveloped femoral lines on the first abdominal ventrite and also the shape of the pronotum, the body size, the absence of lateral carina on the elytra or pits at the base of the pronotum, and the presence of a gular pit.

Salient adult characters and comments on the monophyly are discussed for each family group. Notes on the taxonomic status of genera are included and type species are des­ ignated for Glisonotha Motschulsky ( Glysonotha setosa Motschulsky), Lacertobelus Gorham (Lacertobelus dentipes Gorham), Leptolanguria Fowler (Languria longicollis Fowler), Loberolus Grouvellc (Loberolus agilis Grouvelle), Ortholanguroides Fowler (Ortholanguro- ides egensis Fowler), and Phi I ophl aeus Germain (Philophlaeus aeneus Germain). Two generic names proposed are Slipinskiella, new name (type species: Languria dimidiata Guerin-Meneville; fifty new combinations) and Crowsonguptus, new name (type species: Coe/ocryptus mexicanus Sharp; four new combinations). One specific name is proposed: Hapalips investigatus new name (for Hapalips fuscus (Lea) new combination, nec Hapalips fuscus Reitter). New generic synonymies are given as follows: Cathartocryptus Sharp (= Xenoscelinus Grouvelle; seven new combinations), Isolanguria Lea (= Hapalips Reitter; one new combination) and Tetraphala Sturm (= Tetralanguria Crotch, = Tetralanguroides Fowler, = Metabelus Gorham; twenty three new combinations). The genera Stenodina Fairmaire and Fitoa Dajoz are transferred from Endomychidae to Languriidae. The species name Pachylanguria paivae Wollaston is corrected to Pachylanguria paivai. Key words.

Among the species with a similar body coloration, there is a “group” of six valid species—called here the “tiger” Mycotretus—that possess several pronotal and elytral black spots, as follows: M. tigrinus (Olivier, 1792); M. multimaculatus Taschenberg, 1870; M. centralis Arrow, 1909; M. tigrinoides Mader, 1942; M. tigripennis Mader, 1942; and M. prioteloides Mader, 1942. Different from any other Mycotretus with spots, the spots of the “tiger” Mycotretus are numerous and are not bilaterally symmetrical in pattern. Here, new geographical records, diagnoses and redescriptions are provided for M. tigrinus, M. centralis, M. tigrinoides, M. tigripennis and M. prioteloides, including the first descriptions of their male and female terminalia. Lectotypes are designated for M. multimaculatus, M. centralis, and M. leopardus. Mycotretus multimaculatus and M. tigrinus pardalis Crotch, 1876 are proposed as new junior synonyms of M. tigrinus.

Currently, the family is comprised of six subfamilies (Cryptophilinae, Erotylinae, Languriinae, Loberinae, Pharax- onothinae, and Xenoscelinae) (Leschen 2003), but the higher classification is disputed and needs further study (Lyubarsky & Perkovsky 2018).

Morphology of larvae, pupae, adult female and male genitalia of Double- daya sinuata Zia, 1934 (Coleoptera: Erotylidae: Languriinae) are described. The adults were found to be sexually dimorphic in external morphology, particularly in the shape of the head and mandibles: females have a large asymmetric head and mandibles; males have a symmetrical head with slightly asymmetric mandibles. Adult females of D. sinuata excavate holes with their mandibles on intermediate- sized internodes of recently dead culms of the bamboo Sinobambusa sat (Balansa) C. S. Chao & Renvoize, in order to deposit eggs on their inner surface. Larvae of D. sinuata consume tissues of the bamboo and complete the development within the internode.
