Rufohammus rufescens Breuning, 1939, rufifrons est l'espèce du Brunei.
Je ne suis pas convaincu que Rufohammus est un genre valable, selon moi il est un synonyme de Perihammus.
Désolé... de toute façon il semble nouveau pour le Laos. |

First, the species which was originally posted is NOT Rufohammus rufifrons (Aurivillius, 1927).
Aurivillius illustrated that species. It has a black head and a red frons. The apical quarter of its elytra is black. I have a pair of this species from Sabah and I'll post a photo (under a new topic, to avoid confusion). It is also a relatively small species about 17-20 mm.
Next, somehow R. rufescens came into existence (from China ) and was synonymized under R. rufifrons.
China and Borneo are rather distant the last time I checked a map. This synonymization looks like a mistake.
Since the type species of Rufohammus is R. rufescens Breuning, 1939, the species from Borneo may need a new genus, or maybe it can be moved to one of other genera in this large tribe. Another unlikely possibilty is that R. rufescens and and R. rufohammus are congeneric. Someday, this problem will be corrected, but I think a thorough revision of Lamiini, or Monochamini is required to solve the generic problems. |

Rufohammus rufescens Breuning, 1939 HT male, Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica, Beijing in LIN M., 2015. Album of Type Specimens of Longhorn Beetles Deposited in National Zoological Museum of China, page 227.
The holotype seems a female. |
