Scientific Name
Ips duplicatus (Sahlberg, 1836)
Synonyms
Tomicus rectangulus Eichhoff, 1867
Bostrichus judeichii Kirsch, 1871
Tomicus infucatus Eichhoff, 1877
Common names: northern bark beetle (English), nordischer Fichtenborkenkäfer (German), dobbelt-tannet barkbille (Norwegian)
Diagnostic notes
-Has four spines on the elytral declivity.
-Differs from all other European Ips spp. by the position of the spine 1 of the elytral declivity, which is closer to the elytral suture than to spine 2.
-Differs from the morphologically similar North American Picea-feeding species (I. borealis, I. perturbatus, I. pilifrons, I. tridens) and I. woodi, by the sparsely tuberculate frons.
-Differs from its sister species I. hauseri by the close proximity of the bases of spines 2 and 3 (less than the distance between the spines 1 and 2).
Morphological Summary
females
Body. 2.6-4.3 mm long, 2.3-2.5 times longer than wide; pronotum 1.0-1.1 times longer than wide.
Head. Epistomal margin with uniseriate row of tubercles with elongate mesal tubercle or with gap at midline. Frons outline convex in lateral view; vestiture fine (not hiding part of integument); surface sculpture near epistoma with isolated tubercles; central carina absent; central tubercle absent or present and single, separated from base of epistomal setae by 2-4(-5) tubercle diameters, without pair of circular tubercles on either side of midline; transverse carina absent; frons central fovea absent; circular tubercles above top of eyes present - up to one third of all tubercles. Vertex and pronotum without stridulatory apparatus (pars stridens). Antennal club sutures bisinuate.
Prothorax. Protibiae with three socketed teeth on apical half (does not include apical spine).
Elytra. Interstriae punctate (observed on interstriae 2 and 3 on middle third of elytral disc), punctures 0.5-0.7 times diameter of adjacent strial punctures (punctures and striae measured at steepest part of puncture wall), interstrial setae longer than width of scutellar shield, interstriae 3-5 times as wide as adjacent striae. Elytral declivity with four spines per side, spine 2 or 3 largest; spine 1 (largest on 2nd interstria) closer to suture than spine 2; spines 1 and 2 separated at base by distance greater than height of spine 1; spine 2 closer to spine 3 than spine 1; spine 3 tapered, apex acute, with apical half symmetrical in lateral view; spines 2 and 3 on shared tumescence, in line with spines 1 and 4 (posterodorsal view); declivital integument shiny.
