Euwallacea destruens ( Blandford, 1896)

Xyleborus destruens Blandford, 1896: 221 .

Xyleborus barbatulus Schedl, 1934: 86 . Bright and Skidmore 1997: 4, 149.

Xyleborus procerior Schedl, 1942b: 189 . syn. nov.

Xyleborus pseudobarbatus Schedl, 1942a: 193 . Wood 1989: 173.

Xyleborus nandarivatus Schedl, 1950: 53 . Wood 1989: 173.

Remarks. An image of the X. procerior holotype (NHMW) was examined. Schedl (1958b: 154), synonymised X. procerior with Cyclorhipidion terminaliae (Hopkins) (now Terminalinus ), but this synonymy is incorrect. The image of X. procerior was compared to a syntype of X. destruens (NHMUK) and found to be conspecific. It is here considered a synonym of E. destruens rather than Terminalinus terminaliae .

Distribution. From Southeast Asia through Indonesia to New Guinea, Australia and Pacific islands.
