Ascetoderes strigatus (Arrow in Waterhouse et al., 1900:94)
Banded dry bark beetle
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Synonym/s: Bothrideres strigatus Arrow, 1900:94; Aeschyntelus strigatus (Arrow, 1900:94)
Apart from the superseded basionym Bothrideres strigatus, James et al. (2019) list Aeschyntelus strigatus as a synonym of Ascetoderes strigatus but I cannot find who introduced the combination Aeschyntelus strigatus in the first place.
