Abstract
During the course of an extensive survey of Coleoptera from tropical southern Florida, a specimen of the exclusively Neotropical genus Dryocoetoides was found in flight intercept traps (Atkinson and Peck, 1994; Peck, 1989). Over the intervening years I have had the opportunity to compare the specimen with material in the U.S. National Museum and in the S. L. Wood collection (recently transferred to the USNM). Wood's ( 2007) recent monograph of the South American species of Scolytinae included a key to all the known species of the genus, not only those known from South America. Based on that key and included descriptions I was able narrow down the possibilities and to borrow selected Schedl types from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien. As a result, I have reached the conclusion that this specimen represents an undescribed species. It is described here to make the name available for a regional monograph of the bark and ambrosia beetles of the southeastern U.S. (Atkinson, in prep.).
