Dendroctonus is a genus of bark beetles. It includes several species notorious for destroying trees in the forests of North America. The genus has a symbiotic relationship with many different yeasts, particularly those in the genera Candida and Pichia that aid in digestion and pheromone production.[1]
Species include:
- Dendroctonus adjunctus – roundheaded pine beetle
- Dendroctonus approximatus – Mexican pine beetle
- Dendroctonus armandi – Chinese white pine beetle
- Dendroctonus barberi - southwestern pine beetle[2]
- Dendroctonus brevicomis – western pine beetle
- Dendroctonus frontalis – southern pine beetle
- Dendroctonus jeffreyi – Jeffrey pine beetle
- Dendroctonus mesoamericanus – Mesoamerican pine beetle
- Dendroctonus mexicanus – smaller Mexican pine beetle
- Dendroctonus micans – great spruce bark beetle
- Dendroctonus murrayanae – lodgepole pine beetle
- Dendroctonus parallelocollis – larger Mexican pine beetle
- Dendroctonus ponderosae – mountain pine beetle
- Dendroctonus pseudotsugae – Douglas-fir beetle
- Dendroctonus punctatus – Allegheny spruce beetle
- Dendroctonus rufipennis – spruce beetle
- Dendroctonus rhizophagus – TBD
- Dendroctonus simplex – eastern larch beetle
- Dendroctonus terebrans – black turpentine beetle
- Dendroctonus valens – red turpentine beetle
- Dendroctonus vitei
