Description

4. Sueus niisimai (Eggers)

Hyorrhynchus niisimai Eggers, 1926: 133.

Sueus niisimai (Eggers): Wood, 1978: 111.

Thai distribution: N: Chiang Mai (Beaver 1990); S: Nakhon Sri Thammarat..

New records: Nakhon Sri Thammarat, Namtok Yong NP, TV aerial, 8° 14.262' N, 99° 48.289' E, 966 m, MT, 7–14.vii.2008 (Paiboon) (1); as previous except: Chang Klang Distr., 08° 20' 33.8'' N 99° 37.4' 48.6'' E, 62 m, durian plantation, EtOH trap, 1.x.2010 (W. Sittichaya) (1).

Other distribution: From India and Sri Lanka to Japan and Taiwan in the North, and Malaysia and Indonesia in the South. Presumably introduced to Australia and Fiji, but established in both countries. (4)

Biology: The biology and gallery system were described by Beaver (1984). The species is polyphagous, and nearly always breeds in old, dry twigs from 0.7–3.0 cm diameter. The gallery system consists of a radial gallery, and usually two longitudinal branches running up and down the stem. The eggs are laid in separate niches, but the larvae develop and feed on the ambrosia fungus growing in the parental gallery. As in the Xyleborini, only one or two males are produced in each gallery. They are smaller than the females, and are presumed to mate with their sisters in the parental gallery.
