Achilia tumidifrons Jeannel 1962

Description

Achilia tumidifrons group

Jeannel (1962: 398, 402) characterized this group as follows: elytra with 2 basal foveae; basal striae of abdominal tergite I separated by 1/3 of tergal width; head with broad transverse occipital hump in male; frons not narrowed anteriorly in female; male antennomere X not enlarged; copulatory pieces of aedeagus thin.

The group currently includes A. larvata (Reitter, 1885), A. tumidifrons Jeannel, 1962, A. globiceps Jeannel, 1962, and A. paraglobiceps Franz, 1996. However, we place all of these names as A. larvata, becoming the only constitutive member in the unfortunately named tumidifrons group.
