Corthylina

Male Corthylus, photographed by WonGun Kim.

Belongs within: Scolytinae.

The Corthylina is a group of xylomycetophagous (feeding on wood-growing fungi) bark beetles (Wood 1986).

Characters (from Wood 1986): Antennal funicle one- to five-segmented, club usually much larger, commonly asymmetrical; prosternal intercoxal piece absent (except obtuse in Gnathotrichus, Gnathotrupes); pubescence usually greatly reduced to obsolete or minute and strongly confused (not in rows); elytral declivity convex to truncate to deeply excavated (weakly bisulcate in some Gnathotrichus), commonly with spinelike processes.
