Bark and Ambrosia Beetles of

SYNONYMY

Taxonomic Comments.  Wood & Bright (1992: 90) treated Ficicis porcatus Chapuis as a synonym of F. despectus Walker. Consequently the distribution and hosts lists in their catalog cannot be attributed to either species except for the type localities of the numerous synonyms of both. Beaver & Liu (2010:15) resurrected F. porcatus and stated that it has a more easterly distribution than F. despectus. On that basis localities from India and Indochina listed by Wood & Bright (1992) are attributed to F. despectus while those from Indonesia, the Phillipines and Pacific Islands are referred to F. porcatus. Beaver and Liu (2010) did not discuss Hylesinus samoanus which was described from Samoa.

Maps automatically open at the center of the plotted points and the scale is set to encompass all map points. Maps can be resized (scale bar at upper left) and the center moved (place cursor over map and drag) to see other parts of the distribution of the species. Clicking on a map marker will pull up collection event data and a literature citation if present. If any errors are found, please refer to the "series code" which is a unique identifier for a database record in any communications). Coordinates have not been entered for all collection records. Localities outside the New World are not plotted, even though they are listed in the distribution summary and in the table of records.
