Feeding Habits of Corticeus substriatus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)1 Associated with the Mountain Pine Beetle in Lodgepole Pine2

Douglas L. Parker, Donald W. Davis

Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

The literature contains conflicting evidence as to whether the North American species of the genus Corticeus (often referred to in literature as Hypophloeus) are predators or scavengers. This study was conducted to partially resolve the difference of opinion for one species, C. substriatus (LeConte), which is associated with the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) in lodgepole pine in the Western United States and Canada.
