ITP is pleased to announce the migration of Ironclad ID from a static site, last updated in 2015, to ITP’s dynamic content management system. This tool facilitates the identification of adult ironclad and cylindrical bark beetles, a large, worldwide group of diverse, subcortical beetles in the family Zopheridae. The tool covers the genera and species that occur in all 50 U.S. states and Canada and includes both harmful and beneficial species. Taxonomy was updated except for the inclusion of two newly described species (Rhagodera costaefragmenta Krinksky, 2015 and Bulasconotus scaccarius Bernard & Gillett 2020).

ITP hosts over 50 identification tool websites.
