“…Arg.) is an environmentally friendly wood source, and is an important raw material for wood industries in South and Southeast Asian countries (Edwin and Pillai 2004, Hong 1996, Royal Forest Department of Th ailand 2005. It is a non-durable wood, extremely susceptible to staining fungi as well as insect attack due to its high starch content and low wood extractives (Akhter 2005, CIRAD 2003, Wong et al 2005.…”

An illustrated key to seventeen species of Bostrichidae recorded in association with rubberwood in Th ailand is provided. A checklist is given of nine species infesting rubberwood sawn timber in sawmills in southern Th ailand, with information on distribution, host trees and biology. Th ree species are recorded for the fi rst time from Th ailand: Cephalotoma tonkinea Lesne, Lyctoxylon dentatum (Pascoe), and Minthea reticulata Lesne.

“…(Hong 1996;FAO 2001;Royal Forest Department of Thailand 2005). Rubberwood is considered to be a relatively sustainable alternative to tropical woods extracted from natural forests (Hong 1996;FAO 2001;Edwin and Pillai 2004;Royal Forest Department of Thailand 2005). Rubberwood can substitute for several timber species, because it has good overall woodworking and machining qualities for sawing, boring, turning, nailing and gluing (FAO 2000).…”

Species diversity and infestation densities of rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.)-boring beetles at sawmills in southern Thailand were investigated during July 2007 and March 2008. Twenty-two species of wood-boring beetles, nine bostrichids, eight scolytines and five platypodines, were identified. The powder post beetle, Sinoxylon anale Lesne (40%), is the single dominant rubberwood pest in the studied area. Other frequently captured species are Sinoxylon unidentatum (Fabricius) (18%), Heterobostrychus aequalis (Waterhouse) (10%) and Lyctoxylon dentatum Lesne (9%). The Shannon diversity index of rubberwoodboring beetles in the eastern coastal area was significantly (p \ 0.01) greater than that in the western coastal area. The infestation density in the dry season was significantly higher than that in the wet season, but there were no significant differences between eastern and western coastal areas.
