Biology: A polyphagous species (e.g. Beeson 1930 (as Xyleborus cristatus Hagedorn ) in India, Murayama 1936 in Japan, Yin et al. 1984 in China) usually attacking angiosperms, but also recorded from Pinus (Pinaceae) ( Nobuchi 1966). In Thailand, it seems to be confined to the upper slopes of the mountains in the North. Illustrations: P ( Hulcr 2012); D ( Nunberg 1959 as Xyleborus apicalis ).
