Ips acuminatus Gyllenhal ( CAFB ). Diagnosis : This species is similar to Coeloides ungularis Thomson , but can be separated from the latter by the key mentioned above. It has antennae with 33–40 segments; first flagellomere slightly protruding apically, and second flagellomere distinct flared apico­ventrally, slightly shorter than the first one; third flagellomere weakly protruding basally and apically; notauli of mesoscutum wide and shallow, absent posteriorly; veins 2­SR: SR1 of fore wing = 1: 2.5; first metasomal tergite with wide, smooth and shallow grooves postero­laterally; second metasomal tergite with narrow and deep longitudinal grooves laterally; and ovipositor sheath relatively long, 1.4 times as long as abdomen. Biology : The known hosts are the larvae of Ips acuminatus Gyllenhal and Ips typographus Linnaeus on Korean pine, Tomicus pilifer Spessivtseff on Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zuccarini in China , which belong to family Scolytidae (Coleoptera) ( Yang, 1996 ).

( Alauzet, 1987 ; Alauzet, 1982 ; Haeselbarth, 1967 ; Tobias, 1976 ; Tobias, 1986 ), Pissodes notatus on Pinus sylvestris L. ( Kenis & Mills, 1994 ), Pissodes validirostris Sahiberg ( Jakimavicius, 1976 ) , Scolytus multistriatus (Marsham) ( Haeselbarth, 1967 ; Hedqvist, 1998 ), Scolytus ratzeburgi Janson ( Hedqvist, 1998 ) , Scolytus rugulosus (Muller) ( Hedqvist, 1998 ) of the family Scolytidae (Coleoptera) and Acanthocinus aedilis (Linnaeus) of family Corydalidae (Megaloptera) .
