Rhytiphora bankii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. [1] It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775, under the genus Lamia . [1] [2] It is known from Australia, the Philippines, Borneo, Java, Micronesia, New Guinea, Hawaii, Moluccas, Sumatra, Vietnam, and has been introduced into Japan. [3] The Australian species of Prosoplus were synonymised with Rhytiphora in 2013. [4]

It feeds on Agave sisalana, [3] and plants from the Apocynaceae, Asparagaceae, Asteraceae, Capparaceae, Chenopodaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Malvaceae, Poaceae, and Rutaceae families. [5]

Some synonymies

Lamia bankiiFabricius, 1775 was transferred to the genus, Prosoplus , in 1961 by Stephan von Breuning, [6] and then to the genus, Rhytiphora , by Adam Slipinski and Hermes Escalona in 2013, [4] a change not universally accepted. (See e.g. Titan [7] )

Coptops abdominalisWhite, 1858 [8] [9] was transferred to the genus, Prosoplus , in 1961 by Stephan von Breuning, [6] and thence to Rhytiphora in 2013. [10] However, in 1922 Christopher Aurivillius synonymised Coptops abdominalis with Prosoplus bankii. [11] This synonymisation was repeated by Keith McKeown in 1947. [12]
