24. Anthaxia aeneogaster Lap. 



Three specimens of this tiny Buprestid were secured. A 

 pair in copulation was taken on the flowers of the pearly 

 everlasting (Antennaria sp.?} and a single female on the dan- 

 delion (Taraxacum officinale Web.). Dr. Van Dyke has rear- 

 ed specimens from redwood and knobcone pine, and I have 

 reared it from lodge pole pine. It undoubtedly breeds in yel- 

 low pine, and has been reported from certain broad leaf trees. 



25. Anthaxia deleta Lee. 



Dr. Van Dyke finds this species common about willows at 

 times. Across the line in Oregon it is taken commonly on 

 blossoms in the yellow pine belt. 



26. Anthaxia sublaevis Van Dyke. One specimen taken in Siskiyou 



County, and others in Tuolumne County, California. 



27. Chrysobothris femorata Fab. Found throughout the State on 



oak. 



28. Chrysobothris contigua Lee. 



This little Chrysobothris was not at all common ; five speci- 

 mens were taken on yellow pine slabwood. They are decided- 

 ly more active than most of the other members of this genus. 

 Breeds in smaller limbs of yellow pine. 



29. Chrysobothris dentipes Germ. 



Doctor Horn in his monograph mentions the fact that he has 

 never seen this species from California. I believe it is com- 

 mon in the northern half of the State. Its large size attracts 

 attention at once. Though only 8 specimens were captured at 

 Weed, many more were seen, but unfortunately they were 

 observed at times when it was impossible to capture them. 

 Breeds in P. ponderosa. 



30. Chrysobothris californica Lee. 



Dr. Van Dyke gives me the following information concern- 

 ing this species : 



One specimen, Castella, California, (in Blaisdell collection) and two 

 from Nevada County, California (Van Dyke collection); nothing is 

 known of the biology of this rare species. 



;u. Chrysobothris caurina Horn. 



This was by far the most common species of the genus found
