The plot thickens with Rhytiphora and Prosoplus! |

That's what I suspected. Thank you Francesco. |

None of them is P. bankii. |

To compare: this specimen from Australia, Karumba, QLD, Febr. 10, 1988. Identified as Prosoplus banki (F.)=bankii.

Is it correct if I send a photo of 10 species (side by side) of Australian Prosoplus species collected from 1933 to 1989. First it would help me to know if these are all really gen. Prosoplus, and if necessary I could try to make better photos one by one. But they won't be as good as Andreas'ones. I don't know who identified those specimens but I am sure the ID is a very big challenge and there are certainly many synonyms.... and errors. |

Great Francesco - the first step is to fix the genus  |

there are many species of Prosoplus described, bankii is widespread and shows a large variation, many of Breuning's types are in really bad conditions, so the ID is a big challenge. |

Although on second look, the markings don't match for bankii, possibly another Prosoplus species? |

No problem Andreas, we are preparing an article to fix this problem. |

maybe Prosoplus bankii (F., 1775), erroneously recently under Rhytiphora ! |
