Hidden gems in museum cabinets: new species and new distributional records of Scolytodes (Coleoptera: Scolytinae)

Study Extent

Measurements were made as reported in Jordal (1998b). Descriptions of pronotum includes a setal formula, referring to a pattern of longer, erect setae. The typical formula is 4−0−2, with four long setae along the front margin, and one in each hind margin (see fig. 5 in Jordal 1998b). Additional setae may occur, for instance two setae at the anterior one-third which are placed slightly mesal to the lateral margin (4−2−2), or absence of some or all setae (e.g. 4−0−0, 0−0−0).
