Hadrodemius globus
Browne, 1961: This species is common in Malaya, both in the lowlands and in the hills up to an altitude of more than 4000 feet. It breeds in material of about 1.5 to 4 cm diameter up to a maximum of about 10 cm and often looks too big to live comfortably in its host. It is most frequently found in the branches of cut trees. The nest comprises a circumferential gallery in the transverse plane, and on each side of this there are one, two or ever more longitudinal tunnels, straight or spiral, in which the young brood lives. In boring, the wood is cut in the form of short, coarse fragments, each about .5 to 1 mm long. and equally wide, which, when pushed out of the nest, adhere to form rather than loose cylinders which soon break up. Hulcr and Cognato, 2012: Relatively common throughout its large range: New Guinea, Philippines, Borneo, and continental SE Asia. Almost always in small branches, between 1.5 to 10 cm, often surprisingly large for branch diameter. Beaver, 2010: Recorded from at least 13 families and 20 genera of angiosperm trees. The biology of the species is described by Browne (1961) and Kalshoven (1959).
