Taxonomy:
Type
specimens of
Xyleborus laetus
could not be located in the
NIAES
collection but a specimen
identified as
X. laetus
by Niisima and the description were examined. The species has the characters of
Cyclorhipidion
given above for
C. bispinum
, and is, therefore, transferred to that genus.
