Anthony Cognato and former Entomology Department doctoral student Jiri Hulcr recently published Xyleborini of New Guinea, a Taxonomic Monograph (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). The book is a comprehensive revision of the genera and species of Xyleborini recorded from New Guinea and neighboring islands. New species, genera and combinations are made, and 59 species are synonymized. Because all of the genera and many species that occur in New Guinea also occur throughout the Eastern Paleotropic region, the presented reclassification of the Xyleborini is applicable to a larger geographical scale. The hardcover, 176-page book can be ordered from the Entomological Society of America’s Bookstore. Hulcr is now an assistant professor in Forest Resources and Conservation at the University of Florida.
