Phloeoditica is a genus of bark beetles in the Phloeosinini tribe. Species includes Phloeoditica curta and Phloeoditica elegans.[1]
Although previously classified in Phloeoditica,[2] Phloeoditica obscura was transferred to Pseudodiamerus by Wood (1988).[3] In 2010 the species Phloeoditica setosus was transferred to Pseudoxylechinus and a new genus Asiophilus was created for Phloeoditica phloeosinoides.
