Corthylus convexifrons Wood, 1986

Scolytinae > Corthylini: Corthyli > Corthylus

Synonyms

None

Taxonomy Comments

This resembles and may be a species of Microcorthylus. Pronotum has lateral raised line which propbably led Wood to place it in Corthylus. I suspect that placment is wrong and that basis of separation between the 2 genera needs to be re-examined.

Hosts

  • Lauraceae > Nectandra
