Molecular and morphological revision of Afrotropical Hypoborini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) revealed novel bark beetle taxa with narrow geographical distributions

Species in the bark beetle tribe Hypoborini Nüsslin, 1912 occur in dead twigs and branches, mainly in dry forest. The Afrotropical fauna previously included ten species in five genera. A taxonomic revision based on molecular and morphological data supports the description of three new genera and sev...

Three genera were removed from Hypoborini: Chaetophloeus LeConte, 1876 and placed in Chaetophloeini Jordal, trib. n., Zygophloeus Schedl, 1958 in Hylesinini Erichson, 1836 and Cryphyophthorus Schedl, 1953 as a genus incertae sedis. Biogeographical analyses indicate an early Palaeocene origin of Hypoborini, with an ancestral area split between Asia/Africa and Madagascar.
