Got it.

Moved from Paederinae.

Yes, that is what was needed!

Sides of head behind eyes with dense and course, somewhat annulate puncturation = genus Gyrohypnus (at least a strong indication to it).

P.S.: Move it from Paederinae next to Xantholinus.

Thanks for the confirmation, Boris

I'm not sure what you meant by move to Xant*holinus ... did you mean to say "next to Xantholinini"?

… Stephen Luk, 9 May, 2007 - 10:05am

next to genus means:

WITHIN tribe.
