behind, broadly flattened on the declivity, the strise only very faintly 

 impressed. 



Host tree. — Oak stump, species not determined. 



Distribution. — Isle Perrot, Que., 29-VIII-1910. Apparently very rare. 



Xyleborus pubescens Zimm.; Am. Ent. Soc. Trans., 2: 145, 1868. 



Length, 2-7 mm., slender; the pronotum strongly punctured behind, 

 the elytral striae distinctly impressed; the declivity moderately convex, 

 shining, the striae impressed, the strial punctures very coarse, shallow, and 

 not very regular, the 1st and 3rd interspaces slightly elevated and armed 

 each with three or four rather coarse, acute granules. 



. Described from material compared with the type of pubescens Zimm. 

 in the Leconte collection. Allied to but distinct from inermis Eichh. 



This species agrees closely with Eichhoff's description of his pini, and 

 probably pini Eichh. (1867) should be used instead of pubescens Zimm. 

 (1868). ' _ 



Distribution. — Represented in our collection from Virginia, Florida, 

 and Alabama. It will probably not occur in Canada. 



Xyleborus celsus Eichh.; Berl. Ent. Zeit., p. 400, 1867.

The Genus Xylocleptes Ferrari.
