80. Arixyleborus rugosipes Hopkins *

Arixyleborus rugosipes Hopkins, 1915: 59 .

Webbia medius Eggers, 1927: 104 View in CoL . Synonymy: Schedl, 1952b: 162.

Webbia camphorae Eggers, 1936: 634 View in CoL . Synonymy: Browne, 1955: 351.

Distribution: India and Sri Lanka through southeast Asia to Indonesia West of Wallace’s line and the Philippines. Imported to Australia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, but not known to be established there. New to Taiwan. [4]

New Records: Nantou, Neimoupu, ex funnel trap, 29.vi.2004, 2.xi.2004 (C. S. Lin) (2); Sun Moon Lake , 11.vi.2005 (L. Y. Liu) (1); Taichung, National Chung Hsing University, 19.iv.2006 (L. Y. Liu) (1) .

Hosts: A polyphagous species with a possible preference for Dipterocarpaceae ( Browne 1961) .

Biology: Browne (1961) describes the condition of attacked host material, gallery system and development of the species.

Taxonomy: Wood and Bright (1992) list Arixyleborus medius (Eggers) and A.camphorae (Eggers) as distinct species from A. rugosipes . After comparisons of the holotype of A. rugosipes (USNM) with syntypes of A. medius and A. camphorae (NHML) , we disagree, and consider them to be synonyms of A. rugosipes as originally proposed by Schedl (1952b) and Browne (1955) respectively.
