Description
49. Beaverium dihingensis (Eggers) * n. comb.
Xyleborus rufobrunneus var. dihingensis Eggers, 1930: 189.
Ambrosiodmus dihingensis (Eggers): Wood & Bright, 1992: 673.
Thai distribution: N-E: Chaiyaphum. New to Thailand.
New record: Chaiyaphum, Phu Khieo Wildl. Res., 15.vii.2005 (J. Hulcr et al.) (1).
Other distribution: India (Assam, W. Bengal). The species also occurs in China (Yunnan) (R. A. Beaver, unpublished record). (2)
Taxonomy: The species was originally described as a variety of Xyleborus rufobrunneus Eggers by Eggers (1930), but referred to as a good species by Beeson (1961). Wood and Bright (1992: 673) list it as a good species in the genus Ambrosiodmus Hopkins, but confusingly also list it (p.769) as a synonym of Xyleborus rufobrunneus! We consider it a good species, but note that it has the morphological characters of the genus Beaverium Hulcr & Cognato (2009). Accordingly, we transfer it to that genus.
Biology: Recorded from Artocarpus (Moraceae) and Pterocarpus (Leguminosae) (Beeson 1961).
Illustrations: P (Hulcr 2012 as Ambrosiodmus dihingensis); D (Maiti & Saha 2004 as Ambrosiodmus dihingensis).
