Cryphalus saltuarius - Cryphalus asperatus is a small bark beetle (subfamily Scolytinae, family Curculionidae), around 1.8 mm long, that infests mainly spruce trees (Picea), less often other conifers. It has been recorded mainly from northern Europe and is occasionally regarded as a secondary pest. However, it attacks primarily weakened and freshly dead branches of its host trees.
