Description

* Euwallacea destruens (Blandford)

Xyleborus destruens Blandford, 1896: 221.

Euwallacea destruens (Blandford): Wood 1989: 173.

Beeson (1929) reported this species from Savai‘i and Upolu, Samoa. It is widely distributed in Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands. Beaver (1976) reported it from rain forests above 600 m in Samoa; in this survey, only one specimen was collected in an ethanol-baited funnel trap at about 34 m on Tutuila Island; the species may be more common in higher elevation rain forests on the Island.

Current survey records: American Samoa: Tutuila Isl., Auto, 26 iv–4 v 2017, UHR Ethanol-baited multifunnel trap in 2° scrub, -14.2734 -170.6316, M. Meredith coll. (1, NMNH).
