Extract

Following an evaluation of the anatomical characters and habits of the Scolytini, four genera are recognised, namely Scolytus Geoffroy, Scolytopsis Blandford, Camptocerus Dejean, and Cnemonyx Eichhoff (=Loganius Chapuis, Ceratolepis Chapuis, Coptosomus Schedl, syn. n.). Two South American species, Camptocerus aquilus and C. rectus, having an ambrosial habit, are described as new.
