Abstract

A review of 28 species of insects from 17 families of 4 orders that inhabit the galleries of the four-eyed fir bark beetle Polygraphus proximus in the area of its invasion in Siberia is given with data on their distribution, trophic associations, occurrence, abundance, and locations. A characteristic of the xylophilous insect community associated with Polygraphus proximus is given. The impact of this invasive species on the composition and structure of the bark beetle consortia in the native ecosystems is shown.
