摘要：Resulting from the unclarified status and faulty
synonymy of several species of the genus Trypodendron,
the existence of a further ambrosia beetle in
Europe has been widely ignored or overlooked inmany
studies on forest entomology. Trypodendron laeve
Eggers was first found in Austria in 1982. Several further
records connected with imported conifer timber
from Russia led to the view that this species has been
introduced to Central Europe and is not native here.
Records from the Bavarian Alps, the Bavarian Forest
National Park and the Sumava National Park now suggest
that this is a widely distributed, native, but mostly
unrecognized boreo-montane species.
