Abstract

Plagiophorus paradoxus is redescribed based on the lectotype, which is designated here. Plagiophorus is transferred from the Batrisina to the Cyathigerini. The genera Cyathiger King, Cyathigerodes Jeannel, Denicyathiger Jeannel, Manuleiger Jeannel and Paracyathiger Jeannel are considered junior subjective synonyms of Plagiophorus, necessitating 83 new species combinations. Plagiophorus raffrayi (Bryant, 1915) and P. raffrayi (Leleup, 1974) become secondary homonyms, and a replacement name, Plagiophorus cabindai, is provided for the latter. Plagiophorus inermis Motschulsky is transferred to Stipesa.
