Abstract: Seven species were collected from the wilted trunks of Brownea capitella Jacq. and Prunue mume Sieb. and Zucc. in Taiwan. Among them, Crossotarsus externedentatus (Fairmaire) and Platypus contaminatus (Blandford) belong to the Platypodidae; and Ambrosiodmus lewisi (Blandford), Euwallacea fornicatus (Eichhoff), E. interjectus (Blandford), and Sphaerotrypes pila Blandford belong to the Scolytidae. The curculionoid species Phaenomerus foveipennis (Morimoto) is a kleptoparasite collected from the wilted trunk of Brownea capitella. Information on the distribution, host plants, biology, and economic importance of each species is provided in this paper.
