Traps baited with the corresponding synthetic aggregation pheromone lures have been used as an efficient monitoring tool in an integrated pest management program against these serious forest pest insects, and might also have a potential for future mass-trapping. In the current mini-review, we summarized the recent research and progress related to the aggregation pheromone identification work, especially for the Chinese speaking readers.10aIps nitidus10aIps shangrila10aPseudips orientalis1 aZhang, Qinghe1 aMa, Jianhai1 aZhao, Fengyu1 aShi, Quanshun1 aWang, Guocang  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/research-progress-aggregation-pheromone-systems-major-ipspseudips-bark-beetles-attacking-thickleaf-s
