The host doesn’t make sense. Makes me want to see the specimen even more.

I’m nearly certain this is pusillus, but I think I’ll leave it at the genus level for now.

Hey Tom, I am happy to look at any Scolytine specimens you get for photo vouchers. I work in Durham, NH.

Crypturgus sp.
Marc, I didn't save this specimen. In the future, I'll keep the Scolytins for you to have a look at.
I was peeling bark on oak and white pine logs this day and didn't keep a good record of which log I found the specimens.
