Abstract

New subfamily Idiomacerinae Legalov, subfam.n. (type genus: Idiomacer Kuschel, 2011) and new subtribe Rhynchitoplesiina Legalov, subtrib.n. (type genus: Rhynchitoplesius Voss, 1952) of the tribe Mecomacerini are described. New synonyms are established: Eugnamptus rusticus Legalov, 2003, syn.n. for Eugnamptus lacunosus Voss, 1948; Scolocnemus elegantulus Voss, 1938, syn.n. and Deporaus subseriatopilosus Voss, 1938, syn.n. for Scolocnemus pilosiusculus Voss, 1922. New systematic placement is made: Philippinorhynchites azurescens (Voss, 1932), placem.n. is transfered from the genus Thompsonirhinus Legalov, 2003 to the genus Philippinorhynchites Legalov, 2007. One new combination is established.
