Description

Debus amphicranoides (Hagedorn) *

Xyleborus amphicranoides Hagedorn, 1908: 379.

Debus amphicranoides (Hagedorn): Hulcr 2010: 107.

This species is newly recorded from Bhutan.

New record. Bhutan, Gedu, 6.viii.1985, AS Padgham coll. ex Castanopsis, CIE A 17491 (3) (NHML).

Distribution. Bhutan, China (Yunnan), Indonesia (Java, Mentawai Is, Sumatra, Sulawesi), Laos, East & West Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam.

Biology. The species is polyphagous, and has been recorded from many different host trees (e.g. Browne (1961), Ohno (1990). Browne (1961) briefly describes the gallery system, and notes that it attacks not only dying or newly felled trees, but healthy trees through injuries to the bark.
