123. Streptocranus bicolor Browne *

Streptocranus bicolor Browne, 1949: 900 .

Thai distribution: S: Nakhon Sri Thammarat. New to Thailand.

New record: Nakhon Sri Thammarat, Khao Luang NP, headquarters, 08° 22' 21.6'' N, 99° 44' 14.7'' E, 196 m, EtOH trap, 1.iv.2010 (W. Sittichaya) (2) .

Other distribution: Malaysia (E. & W.). Intercepted in Japan in timber imported from East Malaysia. (3)

Taxonomy: The species is listed under Coptoborus Hopkins by Wood and Bright (1992), but was transferred back to its original genus by Hulcr et al. (2007a).

Biology: Recorded from trees in three different families ( Dipterocarpaceae , Myrtaceae and Sapotaceae ). Probably polyphagous. The gallery systems of Streptocranus seem to be rather variable, with a few branches that may run horizontally or longitudinally, and may be irregularly widened, but without distinct brood chambers ( Browne 1961a).
