Taxonomy: The original reference given by Wood and Bright (1992) is incorrect. The correct reference is given above. Hulcr (2010) considers Debus shoreae (Stebbing) to be a synonym of this species, but we prefer to keep them as separate species (see D. shoreae for distinguishing characters).
Biology: Strongly polyphagous (Browne 1961 a, Ohno 1990). The gallery system resembles that of D. emarginatus (see above).
Illustrations: P (Hulcr 2013, PaDIL 2014); D (Nunberg 1978 as Xyleborus fallax).
