Description
51. Cnestus gravidus Blandford
Xyleborus gravidus Blandford, 1898: 427.
Cnestus gravidus (Blandford): Dole & Cognato, 2010: 529.
Thai distribution: N: Chiang Mai (Schedl 1971 as Xyleborus gravidus). No later records from Thailand.
Other distribution: Bangladesh, India (Assam, Sikkim, W. Bengal), Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam. The species also occurs in China (Yunnan) and Nepal (R. A. Beaver, unpublished records). (2)
Biology: Polyphagous (Beeson 1961). The gallery system resembles that of C. improcerus (see below). Browne (1968) considers it a species of potential economic importance through its attacks on young trees.
Illustrations: D (Maiti & Saha 2004 as Xylosandrus gravidus).
