found but another green one is also found there. This last is probably 

 the true opulenta Fall. 



The author has taken one specimen from the sapwood of 

 Lebocedras dccurrens. 



S. Trachykele nebulosa Fall. 



"One specimen taken at Carrville, Trinity County, Califor- 

 nia, in July, 1913. Others were taken about Lake Tahoe from 

 Abies concolor by Hopping, Van Duzee and myself. It breeds 

 in Abies concolor and A. magnified as specimens have been 

 taken emerging." Both species of this genus undoubtedly oc- 

 cur in favorable localities throughout the northern part of the 

 State. They have been taken at Corvallis, Oregon, and also 

 in Western Washington. 



9. Poecilonata cyanipes var. ferrea Mels. 



This species is found throughout the northern part of the 

 State and probably breeds in all the poplars and willows. I 

 have dug adults from P. trcmuloides and P. trichocarpa in 

 Humboldt County. 



10. Buprestis gibbsii Lee. 



Not common ; found occasionally on oak and poplar in which 

 they probably breed. One specimen taken at Garberville, Hum- 

 boldt County, California, August, 1916. Found in Sonoma 

 County, by Rivers ; at Nevada City and Lake Ellann, Tuolumne 

 County, by Van Dyke. May breed in Oucrcns. 



11. Buprestis connexa Horn. 



This rare and beautiful species is never found in numbers 

 in any locality. Three specimens were captured. The first 

 specimen was taken July 18 from the sapwood of yellow pine 

 (P. ponderosa], fully mature and would doubtless have emerg- 

 ed in a few days. The gallery traversed the cambium for 

 some distance, winding around in a very irregular pattern, 

 then entered the sapwood to a depth of two inches. The pupal 

 cell was just within the sapwood. The second specimen was 

 taken on the 28th of July, resting on the foliage of yellow pine 

 with numbers of B. rustic orum. The last specimen was found 

 embedded in pitch on the end of a yellow pine log.
