Habroloma (Parahabroloma) taxillusi Kato & Kawakita, 2023JapanPossible speciesTrachys zebrinus Deyrolle, 1864 **Indonesia (Misool)Habroloma (Habroloma) australis (Macleay, 1888) ***AustraliaHabroloma (Habroloma) socialis (Lea, 1894) ***Australia
* These species are doubtful species which may not show the same state as that of H. taxillusi, but they are at least characterized by a more or less narrowed clypeus based on the key to Trachys species in Deyrolle (1864).
** Trachys zebrinus Deyrolle is assigned to Trachys in a recent world catalog (Bellamy, 2008d), but based on the original description it seems to have a diagnostic character state (lateral carinae on elytra) of the genus Habroloma.
*** The clypeus has never been described for these species, but they may show the prominently narrowed clypeus (see discussion in the main text).
