Trypodendron dorjitenzingi Schmutzenhofer

Trypodendron dorjitenzingi Schmutzenhofer, 1988b: 487 .

This species was described from Bhutan by Schmutzenhofer (1988b).

Distribution. Bhutan only.

Biology. Unknown. Adults were attracted to the Trypodendron aggregation pheromone, lineatin, and to ethyl alcohol, but host trees were not discovered (Schmutzenhofer 1988b). Wood & Bright (1992) list three species of conifer as hosts, but Schmutzenhofer (1988b) clearly states that no attacks were found on these species despite intensive searching. It is likely that the species attacks angiosperm trees.
