Abstract

The powder post beetle, Sinoxylon anale Lesne, is an economically important coleopteran pest of plantation timber causing significant reduction in wood biomass. It is a common bostrichid which occurs throughout India within forests, tomber depots and saw mills. During a survey in ITC Timber yards, Bhadrachalam, India, in 2007-2008, the larvae of the passandrid, Aulonosoma insignis were observed to be ectoparasitic on the larvae of S. anale infesting wooden logs of subabul (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de wit).
