A CERAMBYCID INFESTING PINE CONES IN INDIA, 

 CHLOROPHOBUS STROBILICOLA, n. sp. 



BY H. &. CHAMPION, B.A.,r.E.S., 

 Assistant Conservator of Forests, W. Almora Division. 



(Plates XIII and XIV.) 



While in the U.S. of America in 1915, 1 was much interested in the 

 work being done by the Forest Insect 1)ranch of the Bureau of Entomo- 

 logy, in the investigation of the insects attacking the seeds and fruits of 

 forest trees. With the lielp of members of the Bureau, I saw not a few 

 of the beetles in situ, including species of a Scolytld genus in Pinus spp. 

 and a Buprestid in the cones of Pinus i^ndernsa. Search for Coleoptera 

 of similar habits in the pine forests of the Himalaya was rewarded by the 

 discovery of numerous cones infested by a Cerambycid larva which is the 

 subject of this note. I am much indebted to Mr. Craighead, of the U.S.
