Johan Christian Fabricius
Johan Christian Fabricius (7 January 1745 – 3 March 1808) was a Danish zoologist, specialising in "Insecta", which at that time included all arthropods: insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others. He was a student of Carl Linnaeus, and is considered one of the most important entomologists of the 18th century, having named nearly 10,000 species of animals, and established the basis for the modern insect classification. Biography Johan Christian Fabricius was born on 7 January 1745 at Tønder in the Duchy of Schleswig, where his father was a doctor. He studied at the gymnasium at Altona and entered the University of Copenhagen in 1762. Later the same year he travelled together with his friend and relative Johan Zoëga to Uppsala, where he studied under Carl Linnaeus for two years. On his return, he started work on his , which was finally published in 1775. Throughout this time, he remained dependent on subsidies from his father, who worked as a consultant at Frederiks Hospita ...

Xyleborus (beetle)
''Xyleborus'' is by far the largest ambrosia beetle genus in the tribe Xyleborini, with over 500 species.MSU (2004) ''Xyleborus'' nowadays includes a number of formerly independent genera. In addition, the genera '' Coptoborus'', '' Cryptoxyleborus'' and '' Euwallacea'' are often included here, too; this may be correct, as they seem to be closely related. Less often, '' Ambrosiodmus'', '' Premnobius'' and '' Xyleborinus'' are included in ''Xyleborus'', but they seem to be well distinct; ''Premnobius'' might even not belong to the Xyleborini at all. The different species can be best differentiated by the gallery burrows they build and the tree species they infest. A significant member, '' X. dispar'', causes pear blight. Selected species * ''Xyleborus affinis'' Eichhoff, 1868 * '' Xyleborus atratus'' Eichhoff, 1875 * '' Xyleborus californicus'' Wood, 1975 - may belong in '' Cyclorhipidion'' * ''Xyleborus celsus'' Eichhoff, 1868 * ''Xyleborus cryptographus'' (Ratzeburg, 1837) * ...

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.
