Scolytodes is readily recognized by the sharply carinate lateral margins of the pronotum and by the separated procoxae. The protibiae have two large lateral teeth near its distal end (socketed teeth embedded in cuticle, see fig. 8 in Jordal, 1998b). The eyes are entire, weakly sinuate, or emarginate, and the antennal funicle is either 5- or 6- segmented. In most species the frons of the female is distinctly ornamented, with various patterns of setae and impressions ( Jordal 2013), while the male has a nearly glabrous and convex frons.
