Abstract
Three new synonyms of Monohammus ciliatus Gahan, 1888 are proposed based on type material examination: Mecynippus ciliatus (Gahan, 1888) = Mimothestus delkeskampi Breuning, 1961 syn. nov. = Monochamus rondoni Breuning, 1965 syn. nov. = Mimothestus luteicornis Xie, Shi & Wang, 2012 syn. nov. Diagnonis, distribution data, taxonomic discussion and figure plates are presented.
