Dear All

I am a PhD student currently working on saproxylic beetle fauna in Tasmania,
Australia, and I was wondering if anybody had any information on the lifehistory
of the species 'Ancyttalia tarsalis' (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), which has
emerged from decomposing Eucalyptus obliqua logs. It shows some strong
associations toward mature age unlogged forests. I can't seem to find any
information about this species. I'd appreciate any information related to
feeding, microhabitat type etc etc.
cheers
