Treatment

Scolytodes ingae ( Blackman 1943) View in CoL , stat. nov.

Prinosceles ingae Blackman, 1943 , resurrected from synonymy in S. maurus Blandford. View in CoL

Scolytodes trigonus Jordal, 2013 View in CoL . syn. nov.

The holotype of Prinosceles ingae , deposited in USNM (photo: http://www.barkbeetles.info), was compared to the recently described S. trigonus View in CoL and found to be identical. Scolytodes ingae View in CoL was placed in synonymy with S. maurus View in CoL by Wood (2007). However, S. maurus View in CoL has a largely smooth pronotum, and a smooth male frons. The male holotypes of S. ingae View in CoL and S. trigonus View in CoL have a triangular field in the frons that becomes rough and irregularly elevated near the epistoma. They also have a tiny puncture associated with each main strial puncture on the elytra, and the interstrial granules are much larger and consistent compared to S. maurus View in CoL . Another synonym of S. maurus View in CoL in South America, S. medius (Eggers) View in CoL , looks like S. maurus View in CoL , but cannot be evaluated properly due to the frons is glued in both the type (USNM) and paratypes (NHMW).
