Beaverium latus ( Eggers 1923) comb. n.

Previous genus: Xyleborus

Diagnosis: Larger than the type species B. insulindicus . The costa on the anterior edge of pronotum is semicontinuous, broken up into several segments almost resembling serrations. Elytral disc flat or slightly concave, declivital concavity not covering the whole width of elytrae; elytra attenuated laterally. Conspicuous erect hair-like setae on declivity, unlike most other Beaverium spp. Striae black, interstriae lighter, brown to red.

Length: 7.5 mm

Discussion. Browne (1961) included the species in the " major group", an artificial group containing species which belong to unrelated groups.

Biology: Relatively abundant in Borneo.
