Yes, the correct name is Rugosophysis frater Komiya & Drumont, 2008.
... and without ( ), only used for species describe in another genus. |

It is a female of Anomophysis, but among the species present in this area (ceramensis, alfura, serricollis) none has been recorded from Tanimbar.
According to the key proposed by Quentin & Villiers (1981), you can separate the females in this way:
1 Elytra with short dense pubescence.......serricollis
- Elytra wit sparse pubescence.......................2
2 Antennomore III as long as pronotum.......ceramensis
- Antennomere III 1.4-1.6 as long as pronotum...alfura
I am unable to detect the pubescence... however, there also is the possibility that it belong to a new (sub)species. |
