Description

Cyclorhipidion pelliculosum (Eichhoff), comb. n.

Xyleborus pelliculosus Eichhoff, 1878.

Examined specimens. Numerous specimens trapped throughout the Eastern US, identified by R. Rabaglia.

Comments. C. pelliculosum belongs in Cyclorhipidion according to its morphological features (antennal club type 3, rounded declivital apex, dense vestiture), as well as according to molecular phylogenetic analysis (Cognato et al. 2010; 100% posterior probability). It is native to the Eastern Palaearctic region, and was recently introduced to North America (Haack, 2006).
