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.

Similar genera.

Distribution.

Paleotropical.

Gallery system.

The unbranched radial entrance tunnel leads to a single large brood chamber in the longitudinal plane ( Browne 1961b).
