Tyrpophloeus is a genus of bark beetles. About 12 species comprise the genus, ranging from North America to Europe and Asia.[1] The genus is little-known, but T. populi has recently become important as the causative agent of sudden aspen decline.
Other species' host are mainly poplars, willows and alders.[2]
