70. Cyclorhipidion fukiense (Eggers) *

Xyleborus fukiensis Eggers, 1941: 225 .

Cyclorhipidion fukiensis [sic] (Eggers): Beaver & Liu, 2010: 24.

Thai distribution: N: Chiang Mai. New to Thailand.

New records: Chiang Mai, Doi Inthanon, 900 m, 28.vii.2004 (A. Cognato) (1) ; Doi Pui, 1400 m, ex Castanopsis, 29.xi.–3.xii.2004, ii.2005 (W. Puranasakul) (2) ; as previous except: EtOH trap, 21–25.xi.2005, 17.iv.–8.v.2006 (2).

Other records: China (Fujian), India (Uttar Pradesh), Nepal, Taiwan. The species also occurs in Japan (R. A. Beaver, unpublished record). (1)

Biology: Recorded from Castanea (Murayama 1952 as Xyleborus ganshoensis Murayama), and Quercus (Fagaceae) (Schedl 1969 as Xyleborus tenuigraphus Schedl), and presumably with a close relationship with that family. Probably this is another species restricted to the mountains of the North in Thailand.
