Bark and Ambrosia Beetles of

SYNONYMY

Taxonomic Comments.  Lanier et. al. (1991) recognized 3 subspecies primarily based on biological and chromosomal characters: c. calligraphus for populations in eastern North America, c. ponderosae for populations from western North America including northern Mexico, and c. interstitialis for Caribbean populations. At present these subspecific distinctions are not recognized because of the practical difficulties involved in re-examinng large numbers of specimens, especially from published records. These authors also treated populations from Central Mexico and Central America as apache which is followed here. This should not be considered a rejection of the their conclusions. On the other hand I believe that considerably more work will need to be done to fully resolve theses taxa in northen Mexico and adjacent portions of the southwestern U.S. Wood & Bright (1992: 494) did not recognize these subspecies. Their listing also includes everything treated by Lanier et al. (1991) as I. apache under calligraphus.

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.
