Abstract

JORDAL, Bjarte H.. A new genus and subtribe of bark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytinae), from Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania. AE [online]. 2025, vol.33, pp.1-6. ISSN 2224-8854.  https://doi.org/10.17159/2254-8854/2025/a21923.

Udzungwana bispinosa, gen. et sp. n. is described from Tanzania and placed in a new corthyline subtribe Udzungwanina, subtribus n. Although this new subtribe lacks a single diagnostic character, the combination of characters makes it unique both within Corthylini and among other tribes. The new taxon is associated with dead hanging lianas in a tropical rain forest.
