Abstract

Coptoborus pseudotenuis (Schedl) and Cryptocarenus diadematus Eggers, two species of Neotropical Scolytinae, are reported from Florida and the U.S. for the first time. This is the first report of the genus Coptoborus from the U.S. We provide descriptions, figures, distribution maps and keys.
