Abstract
Anthracalaus australis Fleutiaux from Australia is redescribed and illustrated. On the basis of adult characters Pseudomelanactes Mathieu from North America is regarded as most closely related to Anthracalaus Fairmaire, which is thus assigned to the tribe Pseudomelanactini. Aphileus Candéze, previously placed in Pseudomelanactini, is transferred to the Hemirhipini (sensu Casari-Chen 1985). A key to the Australian agrypnine-tetralobine genera, excluding Conoderini, is provided.https://doi.org/10.1071/IT9890551
