Taurodemus salvini (Blandford, 1898)

Species Taxonomy

Scolytinae > Xyleborini > Taurodemus

Synonyms

  • Xyleborus salvini Blandford, 1898

Taxonomy Comments

Wood's (1982, 2007) keys do not usefully distinguish this species from T. flavipes. He cites a difference in the punctation of the declivity which in fact is inconsistent, even in specimens in his collection identified to either species. T. salvini is consistently larger than T. flavipes; its declivital concavity is deeper and the marginal teeth are larger.
