Taxonomy: This species is closely related to Scolytoplatypus parvus Sampson (see below), but lacks the patch of conspicuous white hairs, and uniseriate denticles on interstriae 1–3 on the male elytral declivity. The single male Thai specimen has been compared with a male paratype of S.curviciliosus .

Biology: Not described. The type series was collected at 1700 m in the Philippines, and this is probably a montane species.
