Biology: Associated with
Dipterocarpaceae
, like the majority of
Webbia
Hopkins. The
gallery system, as in all species of
Webbia
, consists of a radial entrance tunnel leading to a narrow brood chamber in the longitudinal plane, in which the larvae develop. Brood size can be as high as
120 in
a gallery (
Beaver & Browne 1979
).
