Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the flight activity and abundance of the ambrosia beetle, Trypodendron lineatum Olivier 1795 (Col., Scolytinae) in southern Sweden after storm-fellings in Jan 2005 (Gudrun) and Jan 2007 (Per), that blew down 75 and 12 million m3 of wood, respectively. We also wanted to relate the flight activity to temperature and weather conditions. Unexpectedly, we found the hitherto poorly known species Trypodendron laeve Eggers 1939 (synonyms: Trypodendron proximum Niijima 1909; mistaken for Trypodendron piceum Strand 1946) in our traps. T. laeve has been largely overlooked in the literature, and until recently the distribution of T. leave has been poorly known in Fennoscandia (Kvamme 1986; Martikainen 2000; Lindelöw 2010).
