About Hypothenemus birmanus
Hypothenemus birmanus is a member of Curculionidae in the order Coleoptera. Its recorded origin status on Kauaʻi is introduced / adventive.
Hypothenemus birmanus is an introduced scolytine established on Kauaʻi. Older literature may use the name H. farinosus; that synonym should remain searchable but not create a second record.
Kauaʻi occurrence evidence: Bernard et al. (2018) collected Hypothenemus birmanus in Kauaʻi coffee plantations and note the synonym H. farinosus.
The cited occurrence evidence does not by itself establish current abundance or population trend on Kauaʻi.
