Genyocerus multiporus (Schedl) View in CoL

( Figs 15–18 View PLATE 5 )

Diapus multiporus Schedl, 1936b: 67 View in CoL .

Diacavus multiporus (Schedl) : Schedl, 1939: 364.

Genyocerus multiporus (Schedl) View in CoL : Wood, 1969: 118.

Diacavus decemspinatus Schedl, 1942: 216 View in CoL (as D. 10- spinatus View in CoL ). n. syn.

Taxonomy: We have compared the female holotype of D. multiporus (NMW) View in CoL and the male lectotype of D. decemspinatus (NMW) View in CoL directly with a long series of male and female specimens collected by S. Adebratt in East Malaysia ( Sabah) (ZMLU, RAB), in which the sexes can be reliably associated. Schedl (1942) already suggested that the male of D. multiporus View in CoL might be D. decemspinatus View in CoL , and this can now be confirmed. The species is closely related to G. papuanus View in CoL .

Distribution: The species occurs in East and West Malaysia and in the Philippines and has been imported in timber to Japan. Its occurrence in Vietnam ( Schedl 1972a) needs to be substantiated.

Biology: Recorded hosts are all in the family Dipterocarpaceae ( Anisoptera , Shorea , Vatica ) ( Browne 1961a, 1985; Ohno et al. 1988).
