## TL;DR

This paper reviews and reclassifies species within four beetle genera, updating their taxonomic status and providing new combinations.

## Contribution

The paper proposes new taxonomic combinations and clarifies species classifications within four Lamiinae genera.

## Key findings

- Graphidessa variegata and two Tuberenes species are transferred to Pararondibilis.
- Tuberenes vietnamensis is transferred to Paratimiola.
- A replacement name, Pararondibilis rubina, is proposed for a previously named species.

## Abstract

The genera Graphidessa Bates, 1884 (presently consisting of four species and one subspecies), Pararondibilis Breuning, 1961 (presently consisting of five species), Paratimiola Breuning, 1965 (presently consisting of one species), and Tuberenes Breuning, 1978 (presently consisting of four species) are small groups of the subfamily Lamiinae. The genera Graphidessa and Tuberenes have been studied well, but we found that some species of it should be transferred to the genera Pararondibilis and Paratimiola. In this paper, we provide a taxonomic review of some species of these four genera.

Taxonomic reviews of some species of Graphidessa Bates, 1884, Pararondibilis Breuning, 1961, Paratimiola Breuning, 1965, and Tuberenes Breuning, 1978 are provided herein. The following new combinations are proposed: Graphidessa variegata Hayashi, 1974, Tuberenes minuta (Pic, 1925), and Tuberenes sikkimensis Breuning, 1978 are transferred to Pararondibilis; Tuberenes vietnamensis Breuning, 1972 is transferred to Paratimiola. The replacement name Pararondibilis rubina nom. nov. is proposed for Pararondibilis sikkimensis (Breuning, 1978). Updated species checklists for Graphidessa, Pararondibilis, Paratimiola, and Tuberenes are provided. Keys to species of Graphidessa and Pararondibilis are provided. Tuberoenes Breuning, 1972 is a nomen nudum of Tuberenes.
