CHRYSOBOTHRIS TRANQUEBARICA GMEL. VERSUS IMPRESSA 

 FABR. (COLEOPTERA; BUPRESTIDAE) 



BY W. S. FISHER, 



Specialist in Forest Coleoptera, U. S. Bureau of Entomology, Washington, 



D. C. 



There has been more or less confusion in the use of the names 

 impressa Fabr. and tranquebarica Gmel. for a species of Chryso- 

 bothris found in the southern part of Florida. This species has 

 been rarely collected in the United States until a few years ago, 

 when it was found attacking the so called Australian Pine ((''/- 

 suarina equisetifolia Forster) which has been planted extensively, 

 for ornamental and shade purposes in some parts of that state, 

 and has become quite an enemy of that tree in the section where 

 it is planted by the realty companies. As this insect will figure 

 considerably in the economic literature in the future, the following 

 notes are given in regard to the origin of the names used and may 

 clear away some of the confusion, especially to those who do not 

 have access to the literature.
