Genyocerus albipennis is a species of weevil endemic to Sri Lanka. [1] [2] [3]
In 1958, Victor Motschulsky formed the genus Genyocerus by citing G. albipennis as the type species. [4] [5] It is similar to the genus Diapus , but can be identified due to widely separated procoxae and the concave male fifth abdominal ventrite. This fifth abdominal ventrite is specialized for use as a shovel to remove frass from the gallery system. There is a considerable sexual dimorphism. Average body length is about 2.5 to 2.9 mm. Concavity of fifth ventrite without a longitudinal elevation. Lower half of frons lacks a median or lateral carinae. Pronotum with one pore on each side. Inner three teeth on elytral apex truncate. Elytral striae are not impressed on disc, but more finely punctured. [1]
The beetle is only identified from the tree Dipterocarpus zeylanicus . [1]

Pteroptyx is a genus of fireflies in the subfamily Luciolinae found in Southeast Asia. It has long been noted for the ability to perform synchronous flashing, though not all species synchronize. These synchronizing species have been found on so-called 'firefly trees' and created a growing firefly-watching tour industry in some regions. Species of the genus have been identified in Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
Euwallacea is a genus of typical bark beetles in the family Curculionidae. They are commonly known as Ambrosia beetles, as all species are symbiotic with Ambrosia fungi. Originally from Asia or Wallacea, they are now found worldwide. Many species are pests, causing damage to, or the death of, tree species valued for their fruit or timber.
Cryphalus dorsalis is a small bark beetle, 1.60–1.90 mm long and found in southern parts of Asia with a distribution range from India in the west to Java (Indonesia), the Philippines and southern China in the east. Little information is available on its biology, even on its host plants. In a detailed re-description of the species based on light trap material and specimens without host plant records, Johnson et al. (2020) mentioned that fir (Abies) has been cited as a host plant in one publication which recorded it from Hainan Island (China) where Abies does not grow.
