A new genus and subtribe of bark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytinae), from Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania

Udzungwana bispinosa, gen. et sp. n. is described from Tanzania and placed in a new corthyline subtribe Udzungwanina, subtribus n. Although this new subtribe lacks a single diagnostic character, the combination of characters makes it unique both within Corthylini and among other tribes. The new taxon is associated with dead hanging lianas in a tropical rain forest.

Udzungwana bispinosa, gen. et sp. n. is described from Tanzania and placed in a new corthyline subtribe Udzungwanina, subtribus n. Although this new subtribe lacks a single diagnostic character, the combination of characters makes it unique both within Corthylini and among other tribes. The new taxon is associated with dead hanging lianas in a tropical rain forest.
