Taxonomy: This species is closely related to
Scolytoplatypus parvus
Sampson
(see below), but lacks the patch of conspicuous white hairs, and uniseriate denticles on interstriae 1–3 on the male elytral declivity. The single male Thai specimen has been compared with a male
paratype
of
S.curviciliosus
.
Biology: Not described. The
type
series was collected at
1700 m
in the
Philippines
, and this is probably a montane species.
