Abstract: New Guinean Zeugophorinae are reviewed, figured and keyed. Genera and subgenera
proposed for Zeugophorinae are revised and the following new synonymy is
proposed: Zeugophora Kunze, 1818 = Pedrillia Westwood, 1864 syn. nov. =
Pedrilliomorpha Pic, 1917 syn. nov. = Papuleptura Gressitt, 1959 syn. nov.
(from Cerambycidae). Due to the new synonymy Pedrilliomorpha atrosuturalis Pic,
1917 and Papuleptura alticola Gressitt, 1959 are transferred to Zeugophora.
A new genus, Zeugophorella gen. nov. (= Pedrilliomorpha sensu MEDVEDEV (1996)),
is proposed for elongate New Guinean species with the following species
transferred to it: Z. bicolora (Medvedev, 1996) comb. nov., Z. clypealis
(Medvedev, 1996) comb. nov., Z. elongata (Gressitt, 1959) comb. nov., Z.
gracilicornis (Medvedev, 1996) comb. nov., Z. riedeli (Medvedev, 1996) comb.
nov. A new species, Zeugophorella pallescens sp. nov., is described from West
Papua (Manokwari prov.). A key and catalogue of all New Guinean species with a
faunistic overview is also included.
