Extract

The larvae of three species of bark beetle, Scolytus scolytus (F.), S. multistriatus (Marsham) and Pteleobius vittatus(F.) are described and figured. The larva of S. scolytus resembles most closely that of S. triarmatus (Eggers) but the species appear to be distinct. The larva of S. multistriatus is clearly separated from all other Scolytus larvae so far described. The larva of P. vittatus is most closely related to those of the genera Hylesinus and Leperisinus. The characters of the larvae largely support classifications based on adult morphology and anatomy.
