6E6E8C5A151BFFA9FF5DFDA5FD5E2640.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Antennal scapus short, inflated, in females very slightly larger than in males and with a small tuft of dorsal setae; club with two procurved and slightly bisinuate sutures; funiculus 6 - segmented. Interstrial setae mainly scale- or bristle-like, in uniseriate rows; elytral apex extended but not sharply mucronate, often lip-shaped; abdominal ventrite 5 truncated; setae on all ventrites unifid. Male genitalia with long apophyses and an exceedingly long and enlarged, curled flagellum; tegmen and spiculum gastrale absent.	en	Jordal, Bjarte H. (2021): New species and records of Pseudolanurgus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) from Tanzania and Madagascar. Zootaxa 5072 (6): 592-598, DOI: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5072.6.6
6E6E8C5A151BFFA9FF5DFDA5FD5E2640.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This genus can be distinguished from the closely related Pseudomicracis Eggers, 1920 by the less procurved and slightly to distinctly bisinuate sutures on the antennal club, and by the slightly extended, but not mucronate, apex of the elytra, with the terminal tergite truncated. It is further distinguished from Diplotrichus by the simple unifid setae on the ventrites, and from Lanurgus by the very different flagellate male genitalia and single uniseriate rows of interstrial setae on the elytra.	en	Jordal, Bjarte H.

6E6E8C5A151FFFADFF5DFF74FEC0275E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Molecular data revealed a monophyletic but somewhat distant relationship between this species and P. harunganae (see Jordal 2021 b). Both are clearly separate from Diplotrichus and Pseudomicracis, on both molecular data and morphological characters. Together with P. bugekeae these species are found in similar montane forests in eastern parts of Africa and they are likely remains of a past recolonisation of the mainland from Madagascar. This pattern is seen in several genera of scolytine bark and ambrosia beetles (Eliassen & Jordal 2021; Jordal 2013, 2021 a).	en	Jordal, Bjarte H.
