Bark and Ambrosia Beetles of the World

The frons of the female type is mostly hidden making identification of this species difficult. There are 3 specimens identified by Wood in his collection, none of which seem to match the type of punctatus.

Wood (2007: 859): The allotype and paratypes of argentinensis actually belong to Corthylus pharax Schedl. Schedl (1950:157) does not mention an allotype or paratypes in his original description nor in the list of types in his collection (Schedl (1979). Consequently a specific locality in Argentina is not cited.
