            <p> Paroosternum Scott, 1913</p>
            <p> Paroosternum Scott, 1913: 220 . Type species:  P. degayanum Scott, 1913 (by original designation).  Anchorosternum Jia, Wu , &amp; Pu, 2001: 155, new synonym. Type species:  A. sinensis Jia, Wu &amp; Pu, 2001 (by original designation). </p>
            <p> Taxonomic note.  Anchorosternum is identical with  Paroosternum in all external diagnostic characters: (i) antennal grooves not reaching lateral margin of the hypomeron; (ii) median portion of prosternum elevated, with lateral parts deeply excised [character unique for  Paroosternum within the  Megasternini ]; (iii) preepisternal plate elongate oval; (iv) metaventrite without anterolateral ridge; (v) femoral lines complete, reaching anterolateral corner of metaventrite [not drawn in the original illustration, but mentioned in generic description]. In addition, the type species of  Anchorosternum agrees with the previously described species of  Paroosternum (see below). For all these reasons, we consider  Anchorosternum as a junior subjective synonym of  Paroosternum . </p>

            <p> Paroosternum saundersi (Orchymont, 1925)</p>
            <p> Oosternum Saundersi Orchymont, 1925: 289 . Type locality: Singapore. </p>
            <p> Paroosternum saundersi: Hansen (1991: 261, transferred from Oosternum to Paroosternum) .  Anchorosternum sinensis Jia, Wu , &amp; Pu, 2001: 157, new synonym. Type locality: China, Guangxi province, Nanning.  Anchorosternum sinense: Hansen (2004: 61, corrected spelling) . </p>
            <p> Type material examined:  Paroosternum saundersi : Holotype: 1 unsexed spec. (coll. Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, Brussels, Belgium): “ Singapore / Saunders // Moulton don. // A. d’Orchymont det. /  Oosternum /  saundersi m. / coll. A. d´Orchymont // TYPE //  Paroosternum /  saundersi / M. Hansen det.” </p>
            <p> Anchorosternum sinense : Neotype (here designated, Figs. 1–3): female (Institute of Entomology, Life Science School, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China): Guangxi, Nanning, 1975.6.19. collected by Zhihe Huang [transcribed from the Chinese]. The specimen bears a pink label: “ NEOTYPE /  Anchorosternum /  sinensis / Jia &amp; Fikáċek 2011 ”. </p>
            <p>Additional material examined: INDONESIA: East Sumatra: 1 male (NMPC): Riau province, Bulit Tigapuluh N. P., 0°50′S 102°26′E, 18.–25.i.2000, lgt. D. Hauck. LAOS: Vientiane: 1 female (NMPC): Houayang N. P. (LAO 08-2b), 18°05.88′N 102°40.52′E, 180 m a.s.l., 2.vi.2008, lgt. Solodovnikov &amp; Pedersen. MYANMAR: Tanintharyi: 1 male (NMPC): Tenasserim, lgt. Helfer. VIETNAM: Hoa Binh: 1 male, 2 spec. (IRSNB): “Hoa Binh” [labeled as paratypes, but actually not a part of type series according to the original description].</p>
            <p> Taxonomic notes. The neotype of  Anchorosternum sinense corresponds with the holotype of  Paroosternum saundersi in all external characters of diagnostic importance mentioned by Hebauer (2006): (i) prosternal plate bears simple median carina; (ii) elytral intervals 2 and 4 distinctly narrower apically than intervals 1 and 3; (iii) preepisternal plate of mesothorax widest posteriorly, widely contacting metaventral process and bearing coarse punctation; (iv) pronotum without microsculpture on interstices. In addition, the genitalia illustrated in the original description of  Anchorosternum sinense (Fig. 4) agree well with the genitalia of  Paroosternum saundersi in all details (Fig. 5). Hence, we consider  Anchorosternum sinense as a junior subjective synonym of  Paroosternum saundersi . </p>
            <p> Distribution and biology.  Paroosternum saundersi is widely distributed through tropical SE Asia and is usually collected from mammal excrement (typically, cow dung) as it was also the case in the specimens on which the description of  Anchorosternum sinense was based. </p>
