Abstract
The four species included by Wood and Bright (1992) in the Palaeotropical scolytine genus Phloeosinopsioides Schedl are reviewed. The following new synonymy is proposed: Phloeosinopsioides formosanus (Schedl) (=Phloeosinopsis triseriata Schedl). A diagnosis of the genus and a key to the three species now included in the genus are provided. The taxonomy, distribution and biology of the species are briefly reviewed and some new records included.
