Wood, 2007: Specimens were taken at light. All of the South American Coptoborus species are small and breed in small stems. Except for their xylomycetophagous habit, their habits have not been studied in detail.

Wood, 2007: Specimens were removed from the wood of limbs and from a log. All of the South American Coptoborus species are small and breed in small stems. Except for their xylomycetophagous habit, their habits have not been studied in detail. Wood, 1982: Specimens were taken from material 5-20 cm in diameter.

Wood, 2007: New tunnels were bored into recently felled trees 8-15 cm in diameter. This species is xylomycetophagous and inbreeds. The female bores a radial entrance tunnel 0.5-3 cm directly into the wood. She then makes a narrow tabular cavity above and/or below the entrance tunnel where she deposits clusters of eggs. The larvae expand the tabular cavity as they feed on the ambrosial fungus mycelium. Occasionally the female will extend the entrance tunnel and produce a second or third tabular cavity within the same gallery system. Mating occurs among siblings in the brood chamber. The young adults in the brood chamber exit the chamber through the parent entrance hole.

Browne, 1961: This species can not be described as highly host selective. It infests shoots, stout twigs and very small poles of about 1.5 to 5 cm diameter of cut, dead or unhealthy trees but has not been found as a primary borer of transplants. The nest usually comprises a circumferential tunnel in the transverse plane, although this may be scarcely developed in very small material, and a longitudinal tunnel, often exceeding a length og 5 cm in the pith.

Browne, 1961: This species bears a general resemblance to X. punctatissimus, but is considerably smaller. It has been found infesting stems of cut trees of various sizes, from a pole of 3 cm diameter up to the largest logs. Because of the slightly flattened shape of the adult beetle, its tunnels tend to be elliptical rather than circular in cross section. Adults have been found boring short tunnels directly into the wood, the tunnels tend to take the form of irregular cavities, widest at the inner end, where the eggs are laid.
