After a taxonomic analysis the following synonyms were established: Melalgus japonicus Chj, 1973 n. syn. of M. batillus (Lesne, 1902), Amphicerus (C.) malayanus (Lesne, 1898) n. syn. of A. (C.) caenophradoides (Lesne, 1895), Bostrychoplites megaceros Lesne, 1899 n. syn. of Bostrychoplites cornutus (Olivier, 1790), Bostrychoplites suturalis Lesne, 1931 n. syn. of Bostrychoplites peltatus Lesne, 1899, Lichenophanes fasciculatus (Fall, 1909) n. syn. of Lichenophanes penicillatus (Lesne, 1895), and Megabostrichus imatadei Chj, 1964 n. syn. of Phonapate stridula Lesne, 1909.
