Abstract

Xantholinus dvoraki Coiffait, 1956 is regarded as the only valid species in the subgenus Meneidophallus Bordoni, 1999. Xantholinus (Meneidophallus) roubali Coiffait, 1956, X. (M.) dissimilis Coiffait, 1956, X. (M.) alaiensis Coiffait, 1966, X. (M.) schweigeri Coiffait, 1966, X. (M.) balaton Bordoni, 1973, X. (M.) varhegyanus Bordoni, 1973, X. (M.) magyaricus Tóth, 1985 and X. (M.) pseudobalaton Tóth, 1985 are placed in synonymy with X. (M.) dvoraki. Unusually high variability of the internal sac of aedeagus in X. dvoraki is described and discussed.
