Rhytiphora bankii

Rhytiphora bankii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae.[1] It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775, under the genus Lamia.[1][2] It is known from Australia, the Philippines, Borneo, Java, Micronesia, New Guinea, Hawaii, Moluccas, Sumatra, Vietnam, and has been introduced into Japan.[3] The Australian species of Prosoplus were synonymised with Rhytiphora in 2013.[4]

Some synonymies

Lamia bankii Fabricius, 1775 was transferred to the genus, Prosoplus, in 1961 by Stephan von Breuning,[6] and then to the genus, Rhytiphora, by Adam Slipinski and Hermes Escalona in 2013,[4] a change not universally accepted. (See e.g. Titan[7])

Coptops abdominalis White, 1858[8][9] was transferred to the genus, Prosoplus, in 1961 by Stephan von Breuning,[6] and thence to Rhytiphora in 2013.[10] However, in 1922 Christopher Aurivillius synonymised Coptops abdominalis with Prosoplus bankii.[11] This synonymisation was repeated by Keith McKeown in 1947.[12]
