Abstract

The genus Paraploderus Herman, 1970 inhabits forested areas of the Afrotropical and Oriental regions and lives in wet, decaying plant material, most frequently leaf litter and is collected by sifting or at light. Fifteen species are recognized, the synonymies of Paraploderus parcepunctus (Fauvel, 1905) = Trogophloeus punctus Bernhauer, 1933, syn. n. and Paraploderus speculiventris (Fauvel, 1904) = Trogophloeus oxyteloides Cameron, 1925, syn. n. are proposed. Eleven species are described as new: Paraploderus fauveli sp. n. (Indonesia: Lombok), P. goergesae sp. n. (Indonesia: Maluku), P. grandis sp. n. (Kenya: Trans Nzoia), P. hammondi sp. n. (India: Tamil Nadu), P. leleupi sp. n. (Angola: Lunda Sul), P. loebli sp. n. (India: Uttarakhand), P. malgaceus sp. n. (Madagascar: Toamasina/Alaotra Mangoro), P. rufescens sp. n. (Uganda: Western prov.), P. schwendingeri sp. n. (Indonesia: West Sumatra prov.), P. thailandicus sp. n. (Thailand: Nakhon-Nayok prov.) and P. wittei sp. n. (D.R. Congo: Katanga). Lectotypes are designated for Trogophloeus oxyteloides Cameron, 1925, T. nigronitens Cameron, 1951, T. notabilis Cameron, 1950, Oxytelus parcepunctus Fauvel, 1905 and Haploderus speculiventris Fauvel, 1904. The genus is redescribed and relevant morphological details are illustrated. All fifteen species are shown on colour habitus photos, male and female genitalia plus certain details of male and female terminalia by line drawings. The suspected mature larva of Paraploderus rufescens is illustrated and discussed.
