Abstract

Bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae and Platypodidae) totalling 23 species from 12 genera were collected in a 15-watt ultraviolet light trap. The trap was run from April to August 1959 in Gainesville, Florida. June was the most productive collecting month and Orthotomicus caelatus (Eichh.) the most commonly collected beetle.
