Scolytodes Ferrari

Diagnosis.

Scolytodes is recognized by the sharply carinate lateral edges of the pronotum, separated procoxae, and protibiae that have two large lateral teeth near the distal end which appear unsocketed (but are actually socketed teeth embedded in cuticle; see fig. 8 in Jordal, 1998b). The eyes are entire or weakly sinuate, and the antennal funicle is 5- or 6-segmented (including the pedicel; see Wood 1982).
