36Mathur and Singh (1960-c) have listed about 20 species of borers inthis timber. The species collected in this study has not been reportedpreviously.36. Palaquium ellipticum (Dalz.)

(Curculionidae)These small borers attack the sapwood. The galleries of Platypuspenetrate as far as the centre of the logs and cause serious damage underlong periods of storage. The curculionid, Phaenornerus sundevalli also borevigorously but its damage is mostly confined to the upper sapwood. Sawntimber stored for long periods were found to be damaged by the lyctid.Minthea rugicollis.
37The beetles, Teredolaemus similis (Colydidae) and Trypanaeus (Trypeticus)indicus (Histeridae) were collected from logs affected by P. solidus. Thesespecies are known to be predatory on bark borers (Beeson, 1941).The timber is used in veneer and match making and hence the smallborers are a problem. Only one species has been recorded on this timberpreviously (Mathur & Singh, 1960-c). The species listed here are new records,Large borers38. Polyalthia fragrans (Dalz.)
