Hylocurus parvus (Wood, 1969)
Species Taxonomy
Scolytinae > Micracidini > Hylocurus
Synonyms
- Phloeocleptus parvus Wood, 1969
Taxonomy Comments
The antennal scape is elongate and the club is rounded, with recurved sutures and is not consistent with that of species of Phloeocleptus. The posterior face of the protibia is rugose. Because of these characters this species is transferred to Hylocurus. The unique type specimen is in poor condition and the frons is mostly hidden. Given the variation in expression of sexual dimorphism in Hylocurus, it is not possible to tell whether this is a male or a female. It would reach couplet 8 in Wood’s 1982 key, but would go no further because of the hidden frons. It most closely resembles H. dilutus Wood (Atkinson 2023)
