Bothrideres geminatus Say 



This rather slender, slightly flattened, light lirown beetle about }i inch long, was 

 taken in the galleries of Scolytus cj u a <1 r i s p i n o s u s Say, and it has also been 

 found by Dr Smith under dry oak bark. 



This species has brownish, moniliform antennae, the two apical seg- 

 ments being distinctly enlarged. The prominent eyes are coarsely granu- 

 late and the head and prothora.x coarsely and conHuently punctured, the 

 latter with expanded margins, particularly anteriorly. The wing covers are 

 strongly ridged and the entire body sparsely clothed with rather long, 

 golden yellow setae.
