Sinoxylon sexdentatum (Olivier) View in CoL ( Fig. 5J View FIGURE 5 )

Bostrichus sexdentatus Olivier, 1790: 110 .

Distribution in mainland China: SC ( Chu & Zhang 1997).

Other distribution. Eastern and Southern Europe, Turkey, Cyprus, North Africa, Syria, Israel, Iran. Introduced into North America ( Liu et al. 2016).

Biology. The species has been recorded elsewhere from the families Anacardiaceae , Araliaceae , Fabaceae , Fagaceae , Juglandaceae , Moraceae , Oleaceae , Poaceae , Ranunculaceae , Rhamnaceae , Rosaceae , Ulmaceae , Vitaceae ( Fisher 1950; Liu et al. 2016). The species may transmit a canker fungus ( Botryosphaeria stevensii ) which causes ‘black dead arm’ in vines, and may also be involved in oak decline ( Liu et al. 2016). A braconid wasp, Triapsis floricola (Wesmael), is a parasitoid of the larvae. This species is recorded also from Iran ( Liu et al. 2016).

Sinoxylon tignarium Lesne, 1902: 116 . ( Fig. 5K View FIGURE 5 )
