Description
Tribe Oxytelini Thomson, 1858
Material. GZG.W.30764 (Fig. 3).
Remarks. GZG.W.30764 is a newly reported specimen. This specimen is assigned to the subfamily Oxytelinae based on the visible sternite II. The slightly swollen, round temples (behind eyes), pronotum widest in anterior half with sinuate margins and confluent or very close mesocoxal cavities are reminiscent of several genera in the tribe Oxytelini e.g. Aploderus Stephens, 1833, Carpelimus Leach, 1819, Ochthephilus Mulsant & Rey, 1856, Thinodromus Kraatz, 1857. Gildenkov (2003) divided Oxytelini from Thinobiini by the separation of mesocoxae (synapomorphy) however Makranczy (2006) expanded Oxytelini to include former tribe Thinobiini. Based on habitus similarity and the confluent or almost confluent mesocoxal cavities, GZG.W.30764 belongs to Oxytelini sensu Makranczy (2006).
