Genus Camptocerus Dejean View in CoL

Camptocerus Dejean 1821: 100 View in CoL . Type species: Hylesinus aeneipennis Fabricius View in CoL , by monotypy.

Diagnosis. Camptocerus is distinguished from other Scolytini genera by the mycangia present on the female gena (present in all species except C. suturalis (Fabricius) , by the xylomycetophagous habit, by the gradually ascending abdominal profile, by the scutellum being flush with the elytral surface, by the more strongly excavated male frons, with the excavation extending from the epistoma to just below the vertex and laterally from eye to eye (except C. doleae ), by the male antennal funicle segments 2-7 bearing long setae which form the appearance of a dense brush on the distal edge, by the setae which are 1 to 2 times longer than the funicle, by the absence of crenulations on the elytral base, by the generally larger body size (2.2-7.1 mm long), by the female frons which is flat to convex, and by the lack of supplemental denticles on the apical anterior edge of the meso- and metathoracic tibiae.

Species Descriptions

Previously described species are redescribed and new species are described according to the phylogenetic placement of clades beginning with the opacicollis clade and followed respectively by the auricomus, latipilis, costatus and aeneipennis clades. Species are treated alphabetically within each clade.
