Abstract
Ips typographus (Linné, 1758) is one of the most commonly detected pests traveling in solid wood packing material. The field experiments were carried out at two localities, Sharkia and Ismailia Governorates in Egypt. Five Theysohn pheromone slot traps with a cut-off evaporator pheromone lure (IT Ecolure) containing ethanol and cis-verbenol were hanged on trees in both localities in 2012. No specimen of I. typographus was collected during this study. Three economically important bark beetles species were found (Coccotrypes dactyliperda “Fabricius, 1801”; Xyleborus saxesenii “Ratzburg 1837”; Scolytus amygdali “Guerin, 1847”). All trapped insects considered as non-target species belong to seven orders. Coleoptera and Lepidoptera orders were more abundant than other orders. 20 Coleopterous species belonging to ten families were attracted in Theysohn slot traps. The most of Coleopterous species are known for Egypt, while five species (Xyleborus saxesenii “Ratzburg 1837”; Metholcus phoenicis “Fairmaire, 1859”; Stagetus profunda “LeConte, 1865”; Gastrallus corsicu, “Schislsky, 1898”; Allandrus interruptus “Reitter, 1898”) are recorded for the first time in Egypt.
