Anthribinae: incertae sedis. The genus Diastatotropis is placed in A world catalogue of families and genera of Curculionoidea (Alonso-Zarazaga &amp; Lyal 1999) in the tribe Cappadocini Alonso-Zarazaga &amp; Lyal, 1999, a tribe established in this work. However, Lyal &amp; Alonso-Zarazaga (2006) later transferred this genus to Anthribinae incertae sedis. With respect to the differing views on the concept of tribes of the family Anthribidae, we provisionally keep this genus as incertae sedis; a more detailed concept of tribal arrangement will be published in further studies.</p><p>Recognition. Body oval to elongate. Rostrum extended apically, with one central longitudinal carina or without this carina (in the case of D. nitidipennis Waterhouse, 1882 and D. planifrons Waterhouse, 1882), and two lateral carinae, or lateral carinae absent (as in D. rubra and D. arofaniana). Eyes spherical or elliptical, not emarginate. Antennae of males usually reaching posterior margin of pronotum or beyond, antennae of females shorter, not reaching posterior margin of pronotum. Funicle thin, then antennal club 3-segmented (most species) or 4-segmented (in D. rubra), or antennomeres continuously extended (e.g. in D. arofaniana). Dorsal transverse carina of pronotum distinct and antebasal, pronotal declivity wide. Medium- or large-sized species, from 6 mm (small specimens of D. rubricollis (Fairmaire, 1892), D. arofaniana) to more than 18 mm ( D. olivaceus Waterhouse, 1877).</p><p>Terminalia. Male and female genitalia compared to overall size of body conspicuously small. Female genitalia: ovipositor short and wide, hemisternites strikingly short and delicate, without toothed plates, with only small preapical stylus. Lateral and median rods very short, median rod reaching to ca. half of the length of lateral rod. Transverse bar invisible.</p><p>Remarks on terminalia of the type species D. tigrina . Male: Aedeagus smaller, pedon and tectum wide, apodemes moderately curved.Apex of pedon completely straight, apex of tectum narrowly rounded (Fig. 2). Tegmen (Fig. 3) relatively robust and long, tegminal plate rather narrow, its sides bent, apex of tegmen with long, distinct setae. Basal piece with two conspicuous spurs oriented posteriorly.</p><p>Female: Pygidium (Fig. 4) broad, roughly sclerotized. Sternite VIII (Fig. 5) with bisinuate anterior margin and strongly sclerotized apodeme. Tergite VIII (Fig. 6) sub-rectangular with slightly convex anterior margin. Ovipositor (Fig. 7) wide and short, its lateral rods diverging. Hemisternites (Fig. 8) unarmed, simple, without toothed plates. Each hemisternite with very short subapical stylus, and with small chitinous protrusion looking like a simple tooth on its inner side (Fig. 8, see arrows). Bursa copulatrix large, not studied in detail [damaged in studied female].</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E487ACFFC6FFE3FF03FB2C165B81F4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Shape of pygidium as in Fig. 27.</p><p>Variability. The female paratype (in BMNH) from ‘Annananarivo’ has the entire elytra black, without reddish margins. The male paratype from Analamazaotra (lgt. Stolarczyk, in MTDC) has head and pronotum light red, antennomeres I–VII, scutellum, humeri and all legs yellowish to light brownish.</p><p>Etymology. The species name arofaniana is derived from the Malagasy word arofanina meaning handrail, banister. The name refers to the fact that the new species was collected almost exclusively on the wooden railings of stone stairs on the forest path (see below).</p><p>Collecting circumstances. Most specimens of the type series (including the holotype) were collected in wellpreserved secondary forest in Analamazaotra (Figs 43–44) on a wooden handrail installed along the stone steps on a hiking trail on the ‘Aventure’ circuit (Figs 45–46). This wooden handrail was made from logs ca. 10 cm in diameter, from an unspecified deciduous tree. At the time of construction, the handrail was completely debarked, and painted with industrial brown paint. At the time of collection, i.e. several few years after construction, the paint had already been damaged locally, partially peeling off, but it still covered more than 90% of the surface of the wooden railing. Only in a few cases was the wood of the handrail sufficiently exposed that small fruiting bodies of unspecified fungi already grew from it. Collecting on the handrail was carried out for 4 days (between 16–18 January, 2017).</p><p>A simple method was used: sweeping the lower side of the horizontal parts of the wooden handrail (for methods see also Trýzna and Baňař 2012). Although collecting was also done on dead and dying wood in the vicinity, no other specimens were found there.</p><p>Together with Diastatotropis arofaniana other species of anthribids were also found on the handrail, e.g. members of the genera Diastatotropis and Lemuricedus .</p><p>Only one specimen that we collected of the type series was from natural wood. This male was captured on dead wood of an unspecified deciduous tree species in primary forest along the forest path of the ‘ Tsakoka’ circuit in Parc National de Mantadia (Figs 47–48) .</p><p>Note: In the forests of these both protected areas, wooden handrails are often built on forest paths. These handrails are built along stairs in sloping terrain, or as part of small bridges that cross small watercourses. It was accidentally discovered a few years ago, that handrails are widely used by miscellaneous species of anthribids. Thus, it is possible to find here, for example, species of the genera Apatenia, Caranistes, Diastatotropis, Lemuricedus, and some representatives of the subfamily Choraginae . Some of these handrails are built from natural wood, and at the time of collecting they were still covered with more or less intact bark. However, it was a surprise to us, that many species were also found on debarked handrails, moreover ones that were painted with industrial paint (Figs 49–50).</p><p>Distribution. E Madagascar, Toamasina province. The species is only known from the type locality Parc National d´Analamazaotra, and from Parc National de Mantadia. These two localities are ca. 16 km apart by air. One female with locality label ‘ Madagascar, Annananarivo’ (in BMNH) does not provide a more accurate locality.</p><p>According to Moravec (2007: 18) locality labels with ‘Annanarivo’ (often labelled so by insect dealers) refer to “larger area of Antananarivo, probably including the Angavo massif (Anjozorobe) north-east of the capital, or they were simply used by insect dealers instead of ‘Madagascar’”.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Diastatotropis arofaniana may be confused with D. rubricollis, but particularly with D. rubra . These three species can be distinguished from each other by the characters given in the following key:</p><p>1 Rostrum approximately as long as wide, flat, not bent (observed in lateral view); with one central longitudinal carina and two lateral carinae irregularly and crookedly developed. Dorsal side of head and disc of pronotum with coarse, dense sculpture. Upper side of body matt. All antennomeres completely black or deep blue.................... D. rubricollis (Fairmaire)</p><p>- Rostrum distinctly wider than longer, slightly bent upwards, or with shallow transverse impression in line of scrobes (observed in lateral view); with only one central longitudinal carina, two lateral carinae absent. Dorsal side of head with very fine, delicate and sparse sculpture, disc of pronotum smooth, almost without any structure. Upper side of body shiny, especially disc of pronotum and elytra polished. At least scape distinctly reddish................................................. 2</p><p>2 Antennomeres III–VII thin (only female holotype known), VIII twice as wide as VII and thus part of four-segmented antennal club (Fig. 34). Elytra rather sub-oval, ratio of maximum length to maximum width 1.46; disc of elytra rather flat in lateral view (Figs 32, 36). Disc of pronotum regularly convex, without any transverse impression in anterior part (Fig. 33, 36). Whole body brick red, scape brick red, only pedicel and antennomeres III–VIII dark brownish to black, and IX–XI markedly black (Figs 32–36)................................................................................ D. rubra Frieser</p><p>- Antennomeres III–VIII gradually widened and smoothly continue to antennal club (in both sexes) (Figs 12, 16). Elytra rather oval, ratio of maximum length to maximum width 1.21 in male, 1.18 in female; disc of elytra distinctly convex and forming wide regular arch in lateral view (Figs 9, 13, 14). Disc of pronotum with shallow transverse impression in anterior part (better visible in lateral view) (Figs 10, 15). Whole body red, especially head and pronotum crimson red, only disc of elytra and antennomeres VIII–XI markedly black (Figs 9–17)..........................
