Taxonomy: As noted by
Beaver and Gebhardt (2004)
,
Hyorrhynchus tuberopectus
Huang & Yin
is likely to be a synonym, but
type
material of that species is not currently available for examination.
Biology: Not described. The gallery system is probably similar to that of
Pseudohyorrhynchus wadai
Murayama (
Beaver & Gebhardt 2004
)
, with a radial gallery leading to longitudinal branches up and down the stem in which the larvae feed on ambrosia fungus growing on the walls.
