The first records in Norway of Pityogenes saalasi Eggers, 1914 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) and notes on the biology

Sammanfattning

The first records in Norway of Pityogenes saalasi Eggers, 1914 are presented from Lierne, in Nord-Trøndelag County. Observations on the biology and the distribution are presented and discussed. Host trees are slow-growing and old Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.). The records were made in trunks less than 8 cm in diameter on dead threes with rather smooth bark. In addition, branches as small as one cm is utilized. P. saalasi has a clear northern distribution in Fennoscandia. The record of P. saalasi increases the number of documented bark beetles (Curculionidae, Scolytinae) in Norway to 72 species.
