Abstract

The generic concept of Heterotarsonemus Smiley is reviewed and redefined. The type-species, H. lindquisti Smiley, is redescribed and illustrated along with a new species, H. bicornis; the only described European species, H. coleopterorum Schaarschmidt new combination, is compared with the above two nearctic species. The known species of this genus are associates of bark beetles in conifers.
