Molecular phylogeny of Indonesian Zeuzera (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) wood borer moths based on CO I gene sequence

Abstract

is one of the most important wood borer pestsin South East Asia. Nearly all species live as larva inplants. Most species bore in trunk or branches of trees.Larval wood tunnel the heartwood of living trees. Theycreate large holes in the timber which degrades its value.The development from an egg to an adult can take sever-al years during which the larvae create a J-shaped tunnelof very large diameter. The large holes usually causesmaller trees to become more susceptible to wind dam-age. They have a very wide host range such as Coffee(
