COLEOPTERA. 



The stage in which tiie insect does the damage is indicated in all the records 

 for Coleoptera ; this has been rendered necessary by the fact that in many 

 eases the damage has been caused by both the imago and the larva, while in a 

 few cases the imago alone has been responsible for the injury. The remaining 

 records refer to larval attack only, and they constitute the majority of the 

 records for Coleoptera; the list contains a number of instances of predaeeous 

 and parasitic habits.
