Genus: Brentiscerus
Name
Brentiscerus putoni (Buchanan White, 1878) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Scolopostethus putoni Buchanan White, 1878: 75. Syntypes (♂, ♀): New Zealand; BMNH!
- Taphropeltus javanus Bergroth, 1906a [12 Sep.]: 220. Syntype (s): [Indonesia:] Java, Mt. Tengger; lost? syn. n.
- Taphropeltus australis Bergroth, 1906b [Oct.]: 13. Syntype (s): Australia: Victoria; lost? syn. n.

Lectotype (designated by Scudder 1967[1]): round label with purple margin LECTOTYPE // round label with red margin TYPE // hw: New Zealand // Scolopostethus / putoni B.W. // Brentiscerus / putoni (Wk.) / ExDr. 77 // printed: Pres. by / Perth Museum / B.

The types of Taphropeltus australis and Taphropeltus javanus are probably lost, no references mentioning them could be traced and they could not be found in FMNH where most of Bergroth’s collection is deposited. Taxonomic decisions were made based by examination of non-type specimens from Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia, respectively.

The population of Brentiscerus putoni in New Zealand possibly originates from Australia, where all congeners are native. There are no autochthonous Drymini species in New Zealand, only some introduced species occur, as Brentiscerus putoni, Grossander major (Gross, 1965) and Paradrymus exilirostris Bergroth, 1916 (Malipatil 1977[2]). Since it feeds on Eucalyptus seeds (Gross 1965[3]), Brentiscerus putoni likely was introduced with Eucalyptus trees.
The other species of the genus Taphropeltus species which are partly of extrapalaearctic distribution are Taphropeltus nervosus (Fieber, 1861) and Taphropeltus ornatus Linnavuori, 1978. Both of these species are morphologically rather distinct from the type species, Taphropeltus hamulatus Thomson, 1870, and the other known Palaearctic members of the genus. It is sure that at least Taphropeltus ornatus belongs to another genus, as it also was suggested by Péricart (1999)[4]. This problem needs further investigation.
