Taxonavigation

Name

Burmonyx Davis & Engel gen. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile

Type species

Burmonyx zigrasi Davis & Engel, sp. n. Gender feminine.

Diagnosis

The new genus appears similar to several genera in Rhinorhynchinae, particularly to those of Rhinorhynchini, due to the fairly long, narrow rostrum (Figs 1, 3) and moderately wide pronotum. It appears to be differentiated based mainly on its elongate scutellary striole. The striole in extant Nemonychidae always is fairly short and not extending more than 0.25 × the length of the elytra from the base. This genus, however, possesses a striole that extends approximately to the middle of the elytron. The relatively large strial punctures on the elytra may also be a defining feature of this genus, as the punctures typically are quite small in other members of Rhinorhynchinae.

Etymology

The genus name is a combination of the specimen’s collection locality, Burma (former name of Myanmar), and the Greek nyx, meaning “night”.
