Summary:Dalbergia latifolia Roxb. (Indian rosewood) is India's one of the main timber tree. This is the first report of infestation of D. latifolia by Euplatypus parallelus (Fabricius, 1801) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae), beetle in Karnataka, India. Pinhead-sized holes with reddish resinous exudation oozing from them and blackened areas around the holes caused by the ambrosia fungi are the characteristic feature of infestation.
