The genus Ambrosiodmus (Hopkins, 1915)

The genus Ambrosiodmus , which was separated only recently from Xyleborus ( Wood 1986) , is represented by more than 90 species worldwide ( Wood & Bright 1992). Most species occur in tropical regions of Asia and Africa; about 14 are from South and Central America ( Wood & Bright 1992), and seven from North America (save Mexico) ( Wood & Bright 1992; Rabaglia et al. 2006). The Australian fauna includes at least four native species ( Wood & Bright 1992); A. rubricollis is now the first species in this genus recorded from Europe.
