Scolytus is a genus of bark beetles (subfamily Scolytinae). It includes several species notorious for destroying trees in the forests. The Dutch elm disease is spread in North America by two species : the native elm bark beetle, Hylurgopinus rufipes, and the European elm bark beetle, Scolytus multistriatus. In Europe, while the aforementioned Scolytus multistriatus again acts as vector for infection, it is much less effective than the large elm bark beetle Scolytus scolytus.
Species include:
- Scolytus amygdali
- Scolytus dentatus Bright, 1964
- Scolytus fagi Walsh, 1867
- Scolytus laricis Blackman, 1934
- Scolytus mali (Bechstein, 1805), the larger shothole borer
- Scolytus monticolae Swaine, 1917
- Scolytus multistriatus (Marsham, 1802), the European elm bark beetle, smaller European elm bark beetle
- Scolytus muticus Say, 1824, the hackberry beetle
- Scolytus obelus Wood, 1962
- Scolytus opacus Blackman, 1934
- Scolytus oregoni Blackman, 1934
- Scolytus praeceps LeConte, 1876
- Scolytus quadrispinosus Say, 1824, the hickory bark beetle
- Scolytus reflexus Blackman, 1934
- Scolytus robustus Blackman, 1934
- Scolytus rugulosus (Mueller, 1818), the shothole borer
- Scolytus scolytus (Fabricius, 1775)
- Scolytus subscaber LeConte, 1876
- Scolytus unispinosus LeConte, 1876, the Douglas-fir engraver
- Scolytus ventralis LeConte, 1868, the fir engraver

(modified from Wood 1982). Length 1.7–6.0 mm, 1.7–2.9 times as long as wide. Color variable, red-brown to black. Teneral adults are often light brown.
Head visible from above. Frons flattened to convex, sexually dimorphic (discussed below for each species group or clade). Eye elongate, sinuate to shallowly emarginated, finely faceted. Antennal scape club shaped, shorter than four funicle segments; funicle seven-segmented; club larger than funicle, flattened, oval to obovate, minutely pubescent and with 3 strongly procurved sutures, suture 1 partially to completely septate and with or without a surface groove. Pronotum large, wider than long; lateral and basal margins marked by a fine elevated line; disc finely punctate. Scutellum triangular, deeply depressed below elytral surface. Elytra depressed around scutellum and along basal one-fifth to half-length of elytral suture. Elytra wider than pronotum, flattened; striae punctate; interstriate punctate, with or without setae. Venter either gradually ascending from apical margin of ventrite 1 to elytral apex, or ventrite 2 abruptly ascending, sexually dimorphic, with or without tubercules and/or carinae; remaing ventrite usually unarmed, may have various armature or elevated margins, especially in males. Procoxae narrowly separated. Protibia rectangular; sides straight, nearly parallel, without denticles; outer distal angle produced into a curved uncus.
