Two new genera of flightless Languriidae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) from the Australo-Pacific Region

Two new genera of flightless Languriidae are described: Brachypterosa, new genus (type species Brachypterosa peckorum, new species) a cryptophiline from Fiji and Paphezia, new genus (type species Paphezia detritophila, new species) a possible xenosceline from New Caledonia. Comments on the phylogene...

Zusammenfassung:Two new genera of flightless Languriidae are described: Brachypterosa, new genus (type species Brachypterosa peckorum, new species) a cryptophiline from Fiji and Paphezia, new genus (type species Paphezia detritophila, new species) a possible xenosceline from New Caledonia.
