7. Scolytoplatypus bombycinus Browne View in CoL

Scolytoplatypus bombycinus Browne, 1955: 361 View in CoL .

Thai distribution: unspecified southern province ( Browne 1961a). Not recorded again in Thailand.

Other distribution: Malaysia (E. and W.) (3)

Taxonomy: Beaver and Gebhardt (2006) showed that this is a good species, and not a synonym of Scolytoplatypus eutomoides Blandford (contra Schedl 1975). Keys to males and females of Oriental species described up to 2006 are provided by Beaver & Gebhardt (2006).

Biology: Browne (1961a) describes the biology and gallery system, and suggests a fixed host association with trees of the family Dipterocarpaceae . However, most species of Scolytoplatypus attack a wide range of host families, and the association needs to be confirmed.
