Description

Neothallis bizonata (Macleay, 1887), new combination

Thallis bizonata Macleay 1887: 328. Chûjô & Chûjô 1988: 151.

Comments. Neothallis Fauvel (1891) is a genus of Dacnini unique from other genera in having a concave mesoventrite with a broad prosternal rest allowing the prosternal process to nearly touch the metaventrite, and sublateral pronotal sulci (Delkeskamp 1961). Thallis bizonata (Figs. 11–13) clearly shows both of these characters and the transfer is here validated.
