see text
Ips is a genus of beetles in the family Curculionidae, the true weevils. They are bark beetles, members of the subfamily Scolytinae. Species are distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere.[1] Some are known as introduced species in Australia and Africa.[2] Many species are pests of forest trees, especially pines and spruces.[3] They are known commonly as engraver beetles,[4] ips engraver beetles,[5][6] and pine engravers.[7]
Beetles of this genus are cylindrical in shape, 3 to 6.5 millimeters long, and reddish to black in color. The back end of the elytra is concave, and there is a ridge of 3 to 6 large spines on either side of the depression. The number and shape of the spines help to distinguish the species from one another.[3] The genus is distinguished from other groups in the tribe Ipini by the flat, oval shape of the clubs at the tips of the antennae and by details of the concavity in the elytra and of the male genitalia.[8]
