Schedlia Browne, 1950

Schedlia Browne, 1950b: 641.

Type species.

Xyleborus sumatranus Hagedorn, 1908; original designation.

Diagnosis.

Schedlia species are large and stout (4.2-5.3 mm; 2.15-2.5 × as long as wide) and distinguished by the scutellum absent; elytral disc minutely rugose and punctate; declivity clearly distinct from disc, obliquely truncate, impunctate, coarsely granulate to tuberculate; elytral bases costate, curved, with conspicuous medial tufts of setae denoting an elytral mycangium; antennal club flattened, type 4, pubescent; pronotum type 4 in lateral view; protibiae sickle-like, inflated and granulate on posterior face; and procoxae contiguous.

Schedlia can be distinguished from Ambrosiodmus by the lack of scutellum, and from Coptodryas by the declivity clearly separated from disc.

Distribution.

Gallery system.
