Biology: Recorded from
Vatica
(Dipterocarpaceae)
, and an unidentified genus of
Euphorbiaceae (
Browne 1961a
)
. Althugh a fairly large and stout species, it only attacks stems of small diameter (
3–5 cm
). The gallery system has an entrance tunnel leading to a brood chamber in the longitudinal plane, or in very small stems to irregular longitudinal tunnels (
Browne 1961a
).
