Bark and Ambrosia Beetles of

SYNONYMY

Taxonomic Comments.   Wood & Bright (1992: 786) and Wood (2007:462) cite the types of both Xyleborus splendidus Schaufuss and X. camopinus Hagedorn as having been lost in the Hamburg Museum. Neither work specifically addresses the lectotype of X. splendidus Schaufuss designated by (Anderson & Anderson 1971:31). Wood (2007) obliquely refers to this specimen as 'the Eggers homotype', implying that it was not part of a series of syntypes described by Schaufuss. If this is the case the specimen in the USNM should be designated as a neotype for the reasons given by Anderson & Anderson (1971). Wood & Bright (1992) and Wood (2007) suggest that Xyleborus ruber Schaufuss is a synonym.

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.
