Ips borealisObserver
annalarneyDescription
Keyed out using Hume et al (https://cjai.biologicalsurvey.ca/articles/dcgs-38/). I couldn't see details of the antennal club sutures, so it may not be totally accurate. Elytral declivity with 4 tapered spines. Found on phermone-baited elm bark beetle trap at train terminals (so geographic distribution may not be a strong factor as it was likely transported by train).

Ptilinus ruficornisObserver
annalarneyDescription
Looks similar to P. ruficornis (note long, feathered, orange antennae folded under body). Difficult to find distribution of this species, though, so it may be something else! Found on phermone-baited elm bark beetle trap.

Banded Elm Bark Beetle (Scolytus schevyrewi)Observer
annalarneyDescription
So hard to see in these scope photos! I think it is S. multistriatus, as spine appears round in posterior view. Spine is relatively short though, so may be S. schevyrewi. Found on phermone-baited elm bark beetle trap.
