Dendroctonus brevicomis, the western pine beetle, is a species of crenulate bark beetle in the family Curculionidae. It is found in North America[1][2][3] and parts of Mexico.[4] It is known as a destructive pest of ponderosa and Coulter pine trees.[5] When drought makes these pines more susceptible to infestations by D. brevicomis, there is an increased risk of forest fires due to dead trees.[6]
Adult D. brevicomis are brown or black beetles 3–5 mm in length. Females carve lengthy egg galleries in the wood, damaging the trees.[5]

The egg galleries look like winding tunnels in the wood.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/1934._Three_relative_degrees_of_Dendroctonus_brevicomis_attack%3B_heavy%2C_medium%2C_and_light_on_ponderosa_pine._%2839817485915%29.jpg/220px-1934._Three_relative_degrees_of_Dendroctonus_brevicomis_attack%3B_heavy%2C_medium%2C_and_light_on_ponderosa_pine._%2839817485915%29.jpg)
