	abstract = {Tomicus minor and Tomicus yunnanensis are two important pine shoot beetles on Yunnan pine (Pinus yunnanensis Franchet) in Yunnan Province. Shoot feeding and trunk attack are two factors of tree death. The current studies were conducted under field conditions that the beetles were allowed to attack the shoots. Factors influencing shoot feeding by T. minor and T. yunnanensis were discussed. Result shows that there is a remarkable relationship between gallery length and shoot length, and this correlation is also noticeable between gallery length and shoot diameter. Positions of invading holes on the shoots (lower, middle, or upper) attacked by Tomicus determine the gallery length to a great extent, and there is a significant relationship between them. The main influence factors on shoot feeding by T. minor are positions of invading holes, while those on shoot feeding by T. yunnanensis are shoot length, shoot diameter and positions of invading holes.},

	abstract = {We describe a new species of forest bark beetle, Tomicus armandii Li \& Zhang, collected from Pinus armandii in Yunnan, China. We used the D2 fragment of 28S rDNA to improve the taxonomy of Tomicus. The new species can easily be distinguished from the other Tomicus species using the following two morphological characters: punctures of interstria 2 on declivity appearing evenly biseriate or triseriate; erect interstrial setae on the declivity short, about 0.5x as long as distance between striae. The genetic distances of 28S rDNA measured between T. armandii and other species of Tomicus are similar to the distances between other Tomicus species, and these are much higher than intraspecific distances. The phylogenetic analysis of 28S rDNA agrees with the groupings obtained from morphological identification. DNA analysis has commonly been used in Tomicus taxonomy and is helpful for resolving taxon identification problems.},
