Remarks.

The only specimen available in Macau collections exhibits a total length of 26 mm and a maximum width of 6 mm. Three other observations of this species from Macau were obtained from the citizen science platform iNaturalist, but unfortunately the accompanying data did not contain any information about their size or habits. In nearby Hong Kong, adults may attain a total length of 22-34 mm ( Yiu 2009; Yiu and Yip 2011). Larvae are known to bore into wood of Mangifera indica , Ficus microcarpa and F. retusa ( Yiu 2009; Lim et al. 2014).
