Records. — Blue Mts., August 6, on yellow pine (Chamberlin) ; 

 Oregon. Northern California (Chamberlin) ; California (Horn 

 Coll.) ; Donner Lake (Garnett) ; California. Nevada (Horn 

 Coll.). Idaho. 



Never found in numbers; a specimen was found July 28 on the 

 foliage of yellow pine and one embedded in pitch on end of a j^ellow 

 pine log; another was taken on July 18 from the sapwood of yellow 

 pine (P. ponderosa) fully mature and would have emerged in a few 

 days; the gallery traversed the cambium for some distance, winding 

 around in a very irregular way, then entered the sapwood to a depth 

 of two inches; the pupal cell was just within the sapwood. (Cham- 

 belrin.) On Jeffrey pine (P. jcffrcyi) (Burke). 



This is one of the rarest species of the genus, less than a dozen 

 examples being known; all of these, including the type and series in 

 the Horn collection, are remarkably constant in size and color. Mr. 

 W. J. Chamberlin has been fortunate in collecting soine half dozen 

 specimens.
