  ambrosia beetles - Platypus spp.
The family Platypodidae includes approximately 1,000 species, most of which are found in the tropics (Schedl 1972).
Seven species of platypodids, all in the genus Platypus, are found in the United States, four of which occur in Florida.
The Platypodidae are closely related to the Scolytidae, but can be distinguished by the elongate body form, short abdomen (shorter than metathorax in lateral view), and elongate first tarsal segment which is longer than the remaining segments combined.

 Platypodidae under scrutiny   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The historical status of the family Platypodidae is reviewed and the family is revised.
Based on these results, the status of Platypodidae as a family and subfamily is rejected, Scolytinae thereby becoming a monophyletic taxon.
Araucarius groups in Scolytinae instead of Cossoninae in the analysis on a single step only, but it is suggested that it be retained in Cossoninae until this subfamily is submitted to a similar phylogenetic study.

The Canary Islands inbreeding research (begun Fall 1998) is primarily supported by a molecular systematics grant ; my own research involves applying molecular techniques to investigations of the ecology, population genetics, biogeography, and infraspecific phylogeny of inbreeding and outbreeding bark beetles.

Scolytidae and Platypodidae (Coleoptera) associated with deciduous forest and derived communities in the State of Morelos, Mexico
Five species in 2 genera of Platypodidae and 75 species in 29 genera of Scolytidae were found associated with tropical and subtropical vegetation communities in the State of Morelos, Mexico, during a survey which began in 1980.
A check-list is presented which contains information on the biology, distribution, trees and shrubs with which the beetles were associated and other collection details.

 Termite101
There are many kinds of insects that attack diseased/dying trees and dead trees, logs, and branches.
They are: nonsubterranean termites (Isoptera), bark bettles and ambrosia beetles (Scolytidae and Platypodidae), some weevils (Curculionidae), flatheaded borers (Buprestidae,) and most roundheaded borers (Cerambycidae).
Although many of these pests attack logs or diseased/dying trees in nature, the adults may sometimes emerge from, or the damage may be noticed in, seasoned (dry) wood or furniture in buildings.

 Pest Control in New Jersey (Insect Identification)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Among the wood-destroying insects there are a few species that attack healthy, living trees, but many more attack trees that are weakened by disease, fire, or old age, or are blown down or felled for lumber.
Included among these insects are the bark beetles and ambrosia beetles (Scolytidae and Platypodidae), some weevils and snout beetles (Curculionidae), the flatheaded borers (Buprestidae), most roundheaded borers (Cerambycidae), some caterpillars (Cossidae), and the woodwasps (horntails) of the family Siricidae.
The larvae of some of these pests require many years to develop, and the adults may emerge from seasoned wood in buildings or furniture long after construction.
