Xenorhyncocoris schoenitzeri Putshkov & Bérenger, 1999: 89, 92. Holotype (♀): Indonesia, West Sumatra, ZSM.
Diagnosis
Only micropterous female known. Body length about 34 mm; brown; head 1.9 times as long as pronotum; anteocular part 1.7 times as long as postocular part; labial segment II 1.6 times as long as segment III,
reaching posterior margin of eye, nearly straight, apically bulbous (Fig. 58); pronotum as broad as its length, anterior lobe strongly swollen, posterior lobe as broad as width of anterior lobe; prosternum reaching middle of mid coxae; scutellum (Fig. 57) suberect; fore wing (Fig. 57) reaching apical ⅔ of scutellum.
Material examined
Holotype
INDONESIA • ♀; West Sumatra, Batang-Palupuh; 0.24602° S, 100.34805° E; 1400–1500 m a.s.l.; 19 Oct. 1991; A. Riedel leg.; ZSM.
Remarks
Putshkov & Bérenger (1999) described X. schoenitzeri based on a single female specimen from western Sumatra. This specimen is now deposited in the Zoologische Staatssammlung München, Munich, Germany (ZSM). Xenorhyncocoris schoenitzeri is highly recognizable due to its straight and apically bulbous labial segment II, and also by the combination of other characters mentioned in the diagnosis. This species was relatively well documented in its original description and illustrations. Photographs of habitus of the holotype (Figs 57–59) are provided herein to facilitate the recognization of this species. Some diagnostic characters mentioned by Putshkov & Bérenger (1999) are discussed below.
Distribution
Indonesia (West Sumatra: Batang-Palupuh).

Type species. Otacilia armatissima Thorell, 1897
Diagnosis: see Liu et al. (2022).
Description: see Mu & Zhang (2023).
Composition. Jin et al. (2016) divided Otacilia into five species-groups, i.e., the armatissima -group, ambon - group, longituba -group, pseudostella -group, and an unnamed group containing the remaining species. Although the species-groups are widely accepted, there are still many species that are not assigned to any of them. Here, the four new species are assigned to two species-groups: O. pugna sp. nov. and O. suining sp. nov. belong to the armatissima -group, and O. pingwu sp. nov. and O. distorta sp. nov. belong to the longituba -group.

REFERRED SPECIMENS. — Three presacral vertebrae (NHMW 2019/0065/0001-NHMW 2019/0065/0003).
DESCRIPTION
Presacral vertebrae (Figs 59-61)
The three vertebrae are large (Figs 59-61), with centrum lengths ranging from about 8.8 to 9.6 mm (seeAppendix 1). The centrum is almost triangular in ventral view and widens anteriorly (though not to that extent as in melanosaurine vertebrae described above). The subcentral ridges are straight in ventral view. The prezygapophyses are either much dorsally tilted (NHMW 2019/0065/0003) or only slightly so (in the other two specimens). The prezygapophyseal articular facets are massive and broad in dorsal view. The postzygapophyseal articular facets are also massive. The neural spine develops in height mostly in the posterior half of the neural arch. The neural arch is vaulted in posterior view. There are slight signs of “pseudozygosphene” and “pseudozygantrum” (sensu Hoffstetter 1969). The cotyle and the condyle are strongly depressed. The centrum appear more convex in lateral view is NHMW 2019/0065/0001 and NHMW 2019/0065/0002, while it is more straight in NHMW 2019/0065/0003. In all specimens though, the dorsal level of the cotyle can be clearly visible in ventral view of the specimen. Precondylar constriction can be observed (even slightly though) in NHMW 2019/0065/0001, as the respective portion of the centrum is eroded in the other two specimens. Anocotylar foramina are present and are most prominent in the largest vertebra NHMW 2019/0065/0001 (Fig. 59A).
REMARKS
These three vertebrae can be referred to Saniwa on the basis of their triangular centrum that widens anteriorly and the slight presence of “pseudozygosphene” and “pseudozygantrum” (Gilmore 1922; Rage & Augé 2003; Augé 2005). See Discussion below for further information on European material of Saniwa.

(Figs 61; 62)
REFERRED SPECIMENS. — Five presacral vertebrae (NHMW 2019/0046/0003- NHMW 2019/0046/0007); a partial pectoral girdle (NHMW 2019/0095/0001).
DESCRIPTION AND REMARKS
Presacral vertebrae (Fig. 61)
These vertebrae are relatively large (Fig. 61), with centrum lengths ranging between 6.9 and 9.3 mm (see Appendix 1).
The vertebrae demonstrate a mix of several features present in the above described specimens of Placosaurus, Anguinae indet., and Palaeovaranus. They have high neural spines, depressed cotyle and condyle, while the ventral surface of their centra is crossed by a wide surface or groove that is unlike the conditions seen above for the other taxa (Fig. 61). Considering the high intracolumnar variation observed in the vertebrae of extant lizards (e.g., Pseudopus), we are reluctant in assigning these specimens in a more precise taxonomic rank and we cannot even exclude that they (or part of them) pertain to some of the above described taxa.
Pectoral girdle NHMW 2019/0095/0001 (Fig. 62)
This specimen is incomplete, though preserving in relatively good state the right scapulocoracoid. The glenoid fossa is visible, well demarking the point of attachment with the humerus. Anteriorly to the glenoid fossa, lies the coracoid foramen. Dorsally to the foramen, the scapulocoracoid is of rectangular shape and is dorsoventrally elongated. The ventral portion of the element is anteroposteriorly elongated.
It is readily obvious that this specimen apparently pertains to a rather large-sized lizard. Considering our currently inadequate state of knowledge of the appendicular skeleton of Paleogene European lizards, it is impossible to associate it with any of the above described glyptosaurines, palaeovaranids, and varanids, all of which could attain a considerably large size.

Badis autumnum

description: Badis autumnum species group
Diagnosis. Species in this group are characterised by and distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters and character states: presence of a conspicuous median black blotch on caudal peduncle; presence of a curved bar 1, broader medially, displaying as a partially absorbed second caudal peduncle blotch, often fusing with bar 1; the presence of twelve vertical bars across caudal peduncle, flank and nape; the absence of a cleithral blotch and somewhat elongate body shape.
Included species: B. autumnum, B. andrewraoi, B. kyanos.
Remarks. Species groups within the genus Badis were originally defined by Kullander & Britz (2002) based on external morphological characters and colour pattern. Five species groups were diagnosed, and this presumed classification received supplementary support through molecular analyses (Rüber et al. 2004). Badis autumnum, B. andrewraoi and B. kyanos do not possess the diagnostic characters or character states of any of those groups (see diagnoses of each newly described species herein), and instead appear to be closely related to each other, thus we diagnose a new species group. The B. autumnum group is based on three characters that we consider synapomorphic because of their presence in all members of the group (viz. bar 1 plus the double caudal peduncle blotch; twelve vertical bars across sides). We consider these three synapomorphic characters to be homologous because although they are shared across all units comprising the group, suggesting they share a most recent common ancestor, we presently cannot resolve whether or not these traits have retained similarity of structure. In addition, the group is defined by the absence of a conspicuous blotch covering the superficial part of the cleithrum above the pectoral-fin base, a character that is present in members of the B. badis species group, which with its seven members currently represents the largest species group of the genus.

(Fig. 1)
This species was described from “a small series” in the Horn Collection from Arizona, with no other collecting data and no mention of a type designation. However, oddly, Cazier (1940) remarked that the type was lost, but that three specimens from the type series were available in the Horn Collection at ANSP. Horn’s collection of Coleoptera was moved to MCZC in October, 1974 (Bousquet 2012; Lawrence 1973). Nelson et al. (2008) listed the type depository as follows: “MCZC? ANSP 8193 (type is lost).” Bellamy (2008a) listed “ANSP 8193 Neotype needed.” Apparently both followed Cazier’s (1940) lead in thinking “the type ” to be lost. Two syntypes have been found at ANSP. We hereby designate as lectotype of Acmaeodera conoidea Fall, 1899 the specimen (Fig. 1) measuring 5.8 mm and labeled as follows: a small square blank card // Ariz. [p, white] // Conoidea, Fall., type. [h] // TYPE [p] // Acmaeodera conoidea Fall, 8193 [h, red] // LECTOTYPE, Acmaeodera conoidea Fall, desig. Westcott & Bílý 2018 [p, red]. The second specimen, simply labeled “Ariz. [p]” as above, becomes a paralectotype, as we designate on blue card. In our opinion, the selection of a lectotype for this species is especially important in light of the fact that “the type ” was declared lost, and the species is considered to range from Arizona to Texas, is quite variable, and may be confused with others, notably Acmaeodera neoneglecta Fisher.

description: Acmaeodera recticollis Fall, 1899
This species was described from two specimens, one from Winslow, Arizona, the other from New Mexico, again with no mention of a type. It is a well-defined species, with only one other resembling it closely, Acmaeodera recticolloides Westcott. Like the previous species, the two buprestid catalogs differ with regards type depository: Bellamy (2008a) gives “ANSP 8381 USNM 58128” and Nelson et al. (2008) listed “MCZC 58128 ANSP 8381.” The latter reference also gave “NM” as the type locality, for which there is no basis because no lectotype designation had been published. To clarify this situation we hereby designate as the lectotype of Acmaeodera recticollis Fall, 1899 the specimen in USNM that is labeled as follows: “Winslow, Ariz., Wickham. [p] // recticollis Fall, type. [h] // Type No 58128, USNM [p, red] // Acmaeodera recticollis Fall. [h] // Lectotype Acmaeodera recticollis Fall, desig. Westcott & Bílý 2018 [p, red]." The specimen bore a lectotype label placed by W. F. Barr in 1971, but he never published this, and the label will be discarded. The specimen in ANSP from “N. M.” becomes a paralectotype, as designated by us on blue card. That specimen also bears an invalid lectotype label designated, but never published, by W. F. Barr in 1/68 (possibly 1/60), which will be kept on the specimen. The listing of MCZC as the type depository by Nelson et al. (2008) is in error.

Melanophila horni Obenberger, 1944: 319. syn. nov.
We have examined what we consider to be the holotype of M. horni (Fig. 2), which Obenberger described from a female measured as 9 mm long by 3.5 mm wide, labeled as follows: “Buffalo. N.Y. [h] // TYPUS [p, red framed] // Melanophila horni m. Type [h] Det. D r. Obenberger [p] // Mus. Nat. Pragae inv. 22079 [p, orange, number handwritten] // Melanophila fulvoguttata (Harris) [h] A. Cobos det. 1982 [p]". We agree with Cobos’ determination (although he never published on this species); clearly P. horni (Obenberger 1944) is conspecific with P. fulvoguttata (Harris 1829) and is a junior synonym. The only other specimen is the one Obenberger (1944) placed in a key as “Elytris immaculatis”, also in the Prague Museum, labelled: “Buffalo. N.Y. [h] // TYPUS [p, red framed] // M. horni ab. imaculatella m. Type [h], Det. D r. Obenberger [p]", and it represents an unavailable name (Bellamy 2008b). We based this decision on our interpretation of Articles 72.4 and 73.1.2 of the ICZN (1999).

(1996) synonymized P. arcuata with P. lecontei. Having found no
significant differences between both species we consider P. caseyi (Obenberger 1944) also to be conspecific with P. lecontei (Obenberger 1928) and a junior synonym.

description: Single site Ceratocanthinae diversity
Single-site diversity of Ceratocanthinae beetles has been addressed in four earlier publications. Howden & Gill (2003) listed eight species of Astaenomoechus Martínez & Pereira, 1959 from a single site in Nicaragua. Ballerio and Wagner (2005) listed five species collected with the canopy fogging technique in Budongo forest, Uganda. Erwin et al. (2005) referred to 11 unidentified morphospecies fogged from canopy in Yasuni National Park, Ecuador. Most recently Ballerio and Maruyama (2010) reported the remarkably high number of 18 Ceratocanthinae species discovered in a single site of Ulu Gombak in Selangor, West Malaysia, with the majority of them hand picked from termite nests and all 18 species capable of flight. Our sampling at Bakingili and on Mt. Kupé in Cameroon furnished us with seven and six Ceratocanthinae species, respectively, thus being the fourth and fifth most diverse single sites presently known. We should mention that we were sampling in both sites for only about two days and, therefore, the real Ceratocanthinae diversity of these sites is far from being adequately known.

Anthaxia oneili Obenberger, 1931: 105 (as O´neili).
Anthaxia (H.) sculptipennis was described from “Transvaal" without a holotype designation. The specimen designated as “ Typus " from NMPC is a male and it is labeled: “Transvaal [h] // Typus [p, red framed] // sculptipennis m. Type [h], Det. D r. Obenberger [p] // Mus. Nat. Pragae Inv.22778 [p, orange, number handwritten]". Another “ Typus ", probably female, was found in BMNH bearing the same locality label. Anthaxia (H.) oneili was described from “Cape Colony", evidently for several specimens but also without a holotype designation. The specimens deposited in NMPC (2 males) are labeled: “Cape Colony [h] // Anthaxia hottentotta Pst. [h] // Anthaxia O´Neili m. Type [h], Det. D r. Obenberger [p] // Typus [p, red, framed] // Mus. Nat. Pragae Inv. 22756 [p, orange, number handwritten]" and “Pienaars River, 24.ix.1922, A. J. Swierstra [h] // Typus [p, red framed] // O´Neili [h], Det. D r. Obenberger [p]" The specimen deposited in BMNH (female) is labelled “Cape Colony, Uitenhage, Rev. O´Neil, 1917 // Anthaxia O´Neili m. Type [h], Det. D r. Obenberger [p] // Typus [p, red framed]".
After having studied the syntypes of both species, one of us (SB) found no substantial difference, and Anthaxia oneili Obenberger, 1931 is considered conspecific with Anthaxia sculptipennis Obenberger, 1924 and a junior synonym. Since the number of syntypes is unknown, to avoid any confusion in the future we designate the male specimen of A. sculptipennis deposited in NMPC (Mus. Nat.
