Bark and Ambrosia Beetles of the New World (THA-Bark Beetles)

This is a personal database created and maintained by T.H. Atkinson. It can be viewed as a comprehensive virtual collection for a single taxonomic group. It includes:

1. All published records of bark and ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) for North and Central America. It also includes the bulk of published records for the Caribbean and South America but is not complete for those regions. In some cases published records can be matched to specimens in museums. (for discussion see: http://www.barkbeetles.info/projects_database.php#records)
2. All label data for specimens seen by T.H. Atkinson, regardless of collection where deposited.
3. Trapping records for the U.S. Forest Service “Early Detection Rapid Response” database as provided by the USFS.
4. While the database includes some records imported from other institutional databases (e.g. UAIC, ASUHIC, SEMC) these are not copied to the SCAN collection).
5. In general databased specimens (with barcode or catalog number label on specimen) are not cited in this SCAN collection, especially if these data are available electronically elsewhere. Exceptions include primary type material and material from a few collections.
