Biology: Browne (1961a) suggests that this is mainly a ‘hill’ species occurring at altitudes above 600 m, but the records from Thailand suggest that it frequently occurs at lower altitudes. The species is polyphagous ( Browne 1961a). In Thailand it has been recorded from Acacia auriculiformis (Leguminosae) ( Hutacharern & Tubtim 1995) . Illustrations: P (PaDIL 2014 as Hadrodemius ursulus ); D ( Maiti & Saha 2004 as Xylosandrus ursulus ).
