Scolytinae
A bark beetle is the common name for the subfamily of beetles Scolytinae. Previously, this was considered a distinct family (Scolytidae), but is now understood to be a specialized clade of the "true weevil" family (Curculionidae). Although the term "bark beetle" refers to the fact that many species feed in the inner bark (phloem) layer of trees, the subfamily also has many species with other lifestyles, including some that bore into wood, feed in fruit and seeds, or tunnel into herbaceous plants. Well-known species are members of the type genus ''Scolytus'', namely the European elm bark beetle ''S. multistriatus'' and the large elm bark beetle ''S. scolytus'', which like the American elm bark beetle ''Hylurgopinus rufipes'', transmit Dutch elm disease fungi (''Ophiostoma''). The mountain pine beetle ''Dendroctonus ponderosae'', southern pine beetle ''Dendroctonus frontalis'', and their near relatives are major pests of conifer forests in North America. A similarly aggressive spec ...

Xyleborini
Xyleborini are a tribe (biology), tribe of ambrosia beetles (alternatively called subtribe Xyleborina of tribe Scolytini), highly specialized weevils of the subfamily Scolytinae. Much of the ambrosia beetle fauna in Eurasia and the Americas consists of Xyleborini species. Some Xyleborini are notorious invasive species. Most genus, genera are small or even monotypic, and contain 1-8 dozen species. The type genus ''Xyleborus (beetle), Xyleborus'' contains over 500 species, but it is an unnatural grouping of unrelated species. Key for the world genera of Xyleborini available through a North Carolina State University website.

Scolytus
''Scolytus'' is a genus of bark beetles (subfamily Scolytinae). It includes several species notorious for destroying trees in the forests. The Dutch elm disease is spread in North America by two species : the native elm bark beetle, ''Hylurgopinus rufipes'', and the European elm bark beetle, ''Scolytus multistriatus''. In Europe, while the aforementioned ''Scolytus multistriatus'' again acts as vector for infection, it is much less effective than the large elm bark beetle ''Scolytus scolytus''. Species Species include: *''Scolytus amygdali'' Guerin, 1847, the almond bark beetle *''Scolytus dentatus'' Bright, 1964 *''Scolytus fagi'' Walsh, 1867 *''Scolytus jacobsoni'' Spessivtzev, 1919 *''Scolytus laricis'' Blackman, 1934, the larch engraver *'' Scolytus mali'' ( Bechstein, 1805), the larger shothole borer *''Scolytus monticolae'' Swaine, 1917 *''Scolytus multistriatus'' (Marsham, 1802), the European elm bark beetle, smaller European elm bark beetle *''Scolytus muticus'' Say ...

Curculionidae
The Curculionidae are a family of weevils, commonly called snout beetles or true weevils. They are one of the largest animal families, with 6,800 genera and 83,000 species described worldwide. They are the sister group to the family Brentidae. They include the bark beetles as the subfamily Scolytinae, which are modified in shape in accordance with their wood-boring lifestyle. They do not much resemble other weevils, so they were traditionally considered a distinct family, Scolytidae. The family also includes the ambrosia beetles, of which the present-day subfamily Platypodinae was formerly considered the distinct family Platypodidae. Description Adult Curculionidae can be recognised by the well-developed, downwards-curved snout (rostrum) possessed by many species, though the rostrum is sometimes short (e.g. Entiminae). They have elbowed antennae that end in clubs, and the first antennal segment often fits into a groove in the side of the rostrum. The body tends to be robus ...

Tomicini
Tomicini are a tribe of bark beetles, highly specialized weevils of the subfamily Scolytinae. They belong to the group of tribes around the Hylesinini, which are all included in these by some authors. In this case, the Tomicini become a subtribe Tomicina. This tribe contains a number of notorious pests, in particular of conifers; even by bark beetle standards, some Tomicini are unusually destructive and can cause massive amounts of damage during outbreaks. Some Tomicini have spread from their native range with shipments of forestry produce and established themselves as invasive species.

Ipini
Ipini is a tribe of bark beetles. It is a monophyletic group. Beetles of this tribe specialize on conifers. Many species, such as the six-spined engraver beetle (''Ips sexdentatus'') and the European spruce bark beetle (''Ips typographus''), produce galleries in wood for their eggs and larvae. Almost all beetles in this tribe have polygynous mating systems with harems of females. An exception is the monogamous ''Ips latidens''.Reid, M. (1999)Monogamy in the bark beetle ''Ips latidens'': ecological correlates of an unusual mating system.''Ecological Entomology'' 24(1), 89–94.

Hylurgopinus Rufipes
''Hylurgopinus rufipes'', known as the native elm bark beetle, is a species of elm bark beetles in the tribe Hylesinini (crenulate bark beetles). It is found in Canada and the United States. It is of particular importance as a vector of Dutch elm disease Dutch elm disease (DED) is caused by a member of the sac fungi (Ascomycota) affecting elm trees, and is spread by elm bark beetles. Although believed to be originally native to Asia, the disease was accidentally introduced into Americas, America .... It is brownish-red in color and its size ranges from 2.34 mm to 2.9 mm.

European Elm Bark Beetle
''Scolytus multistriatus'', the European elm bark beetle or smaller European elm bark beetle, is a bark beetle species in the genus ''Scolytus''. In Europe, while ''S. multistriatus'' acts as vector of the Dutch elm disease, caused by the Ascomycota ''Ophiostoma ulmi'', it is much less effective than the large elm bark beetle, '' S. scolytus''. ''S. multistriatus'' uses vanillin and syringaldehyde as signals to find a host tree during oviposition.Vanillin and Syringaldehyde as Attractants for ''Scolytus multistriatus'' (Coleoptera: Scolytidae).

Dutch Elm Disease
Dutch elm disease (DED) is caused by a member of the sac fungi (Ascomycota) affecting elm trees, and is spread by elm bark beetles. Although believed to be originally native to Asia, the disease was accidentally introduced into Americas, America, Europe, and New Zealand. In these regions it has devastated native populations of elms that did not have resistance to the disease. The name "Dutch elm disease" refers to its identification in 1921 and later in the Netherlands by Dutch phytopathologists Marie Beatrice Schol-Schwarz, Bea Schwarz and Christine Buisman, who both worked with professor Johanna Westerdijk. The disease affects species in the genera ''Ulmus'' and ''Zelkova''; therefore it is not specific to the Ulmus × hollandica, Dutch elm hybrid. Overview Dutch elm disease (DED) is caused by ascomycete microfungi.
