Diagnosis.

3.5-4.0 mm long (mean = 3.74 mm; n = 5); 2.19-2.53 × as long as wide. This species is distinguished by each declivital interstriae variously tuberculate, never granulate; and red-brown color.

This species strongly resembles A. lewisi from which it can usually be distinguished by the smaller size and tubercles on interstriae 2 not distinctly larger than those of other interstriae.

Similar species.

Ambrosiodmus lewisi .

Distribution.

Bangladesh, Bhutan, China (Chongqing, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Jiangxi*, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), India (Assam, Meghalaya, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal), Laos*, East Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam. Established in the USA ( Rabaglia and Okins 2011; Gomez et al. 2018a).

Host plants.

Polyphagous ( Beeson 1930, 1961; Ohno 1990; Maiti and Saha 2004; Lin et al. 2019).

Remarks.

Wood and Bright (1992) considered the species as being described by Stebbing in 1909 ( Stebbing 1909: 20) rather than in 1907 despite listing this publication under the taxonomy section for the species. This error undoubtedly occurred because Stebbing classified Phloeosinus minor as a new species in both publications. However, in 1909 he states "this amplifies the description given of this insect in [1907]" at the end of the species description. This error has been unknowingly perpetuated throughout the literature published since 1992.
