Description

Scolytodes unipunctatus (Blandford, 1897)

(Figs 37, 40, 43)

Scolytodes cylindricus (Schedl, 1978), synonymy by Wood, 2007.

Material examined. Holotype, female: Guatemala: Cubilguitz, Alta Verapaz [BMNH]. Holotype of S. cylindricus, female: Peru, Machu Picchu [NHMW]. Other material examined as previously reported (Jordal 1998a, 2013, 2018).

A very characteristic species which has a broad distribution from Guatemala to Bolivia, at high altitudes. Because the female has a distinct frons, it has been readily identified as this species, despite some morphological variation. There may therefore be several similar species present in previous samples of S. unipunctatus. A new species in this complex is described below, primarily distinguished by elevated interstriae on the declivity, and much stouter body shape.
