78. Ambrosiophilus subnepotulus (Eggers) n.comb.

Xyleborus subnepotulus Eggers, 1930: 178 .

Distribution: Indonesia (Java), Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Taiwan. Nobuchi (1967) includes India in the distribution, but we have seen no records from that country, and the species is not included by Maiti and Saha (2004) in their treatment of Indian Xyleborini . [4]

Hosts: The only recorded host is Albizia lebbeck (Leguminosae) .

Taxonomy: This species is listed under Xyleborus in the Wood and Bright catalog (1992), but has the characteristics of Ambrosiophilus Hulcr and Cognato ( Hulcr & Cognato 2009), and is here transferred to that genus. A Taiwanese specimen (TARI) determined and recorded by Eggers (1939a) has been examined.
