A synopsis of the Lyctine beetles of Eurasia with a key to the species (Insecta: Coleoptera: Bostrichidae: Lyctinae)

Abstract

We provide an annotated synopsis of all the Eurasian Lyctinae with a key to all three tribes, seven genera and thirty-eight species. We provide for each species a summary of what is currently known about its taxonomic status, distribution, host plants, biology, and economic importance as a baseline for future studies of the fauna, particularly in relation to the growing importance of lyctines as economically important pests in the region.
