Bark and Ambrosia Beetles of

SYNONYMY

Taxonomic Comments.   This species and its close relatives are distinguished by characters of the frons, specifically size and position of a central concavity and the location of paired spongy projections. These are extremely variable and there is no basis for maintaining torosus Wood as a separate species. It is possible that binodatus Wood is also a synonym. The confused state of the taxonomy of this group has been increased by a small number of collections of few individuals.

Maps automatically open at the center of the plotted points and the scale is set to encompass all map points. Maps can be resized (scale bar at upper left) and the center moved (place cursor over map and drag) to see other parts of the distribution of the species. Clicking on a map marker will pull up collection event data and a literature citation if present. If any errors are found, please refer to the "series code" which is a unique identifier for a database record in any communications). Coordinates have not been entered for all collection records. Localities outside the New World are not plotted, even though they are listed in the distribution summary and in the table of records.
