38. Chrysobothris sylvania Fall. 



The type material was collected from apple in northern So- 

 noma County, California. Mr. Nunenmacher, of Oakland, 



j ' 



has taken it in Del Norte County. I have collected it in the 

 Cascades of southern and central Oregon. A number of 

 specimens were dug from the sapwood of Douglas fir, March, 

 1916. 



39. Chrysobothris mali Horn. 



Occurs throughout California, where it breeds in cherry, 

 willow and oak. In Oregon the writer has bred it from prune, 

 peach and apple. 



40. Chrysobothris pubescens Fall. 



I have a single specimen of this species taken in soxithern 

 Oregon. Dr. Van Dyke states that in California it is generally 

 confined to the Sierras. He has taken it at Lake Tahoe and 

 in Shasta County. There are specimens in his collection from 

 Reno, Nevada and from Tulare County, California. It prob- 

 ably breeds in the smaller limbs of Jeffrey and yellow pine. 



41. Chrysobothris deleta Horn. 



This is not a typically northern species, but does occur at 

 rare intervals, as shown by a specimen from Lake Tahoe and 

 one from Castella. Shasta County, July 8, 1912 (in the Van 

 Dyke collection). 



42. Chrysobothris cyanella Horn. 



This species although rare is rather widely distributed 

 throughout the Cascade-Sierra region. The writer has taken 

 specimens in the vicinity of Ashland, Oregon (just over the 

 California line). It undoubtedly breeds in the twigs of yel- 

 low pine. In the Van Dyke collection there are specimens 

 taken in Shasta County, Siskiyou County, and Lake Tahoe, 

 California. 



43. Chrysobothris prasina Horn. 



The type of this species is supposed to have been collected 

 in northern California. Dr. Van Dyke has one specimen tak- 

 en in Sonoma County, June 30, 1912.
