(Figs 5–8)

Dryocoetiops bicolor Schedl 1970a: 360 View in CoL .

Taxonomy. A paratype from West Malaysia ( NMW) has been examined and compared with three specimens in RAB from Laos , and East and West Malaysia. The species is most closely similar to D. laevis View in CoL , but can be distinguished by its smaller size and the presence of strial setae on both elytral disc and declivity. The species was previously known only from the three specimens of the type series which were imported to Japan in timber from West Malaysia.

Distribution. Laos, Malaysia (E. and W.). Imported to Japan, but not established.

New records. LAOS, C., Kham Mouan Prov., Ban Khoun Ngeun , 18 o 07′N 104 o 29E, c. 200m, 24-29.iv.2001 (Pacholátko) (1); Pen [insula] GoogleMaps MALAYSIA, Negeri Sembilan, Pasoh Forest Reserve , Tower-B-32, 11.iv.1993 (K. Maetô) (1); [E. MALAYSIA: Sarawak], Kinabalu Park PHS, Lower montane, mixed dipterocarp [forest, fogging] Meliaceae sp., 19.iii.1996 (A. Floren) (1) .

Biology. The type series was taken from ‘mersawa’, Anisoptera sp. ( Dipterocarpaceae ) (Schedl 1970).
