{Dicerca divaricata — Say.) 



Order, Colkoptera ; P'ainily, Buprestid.e. 



[Boring beneath the bark of cherry and peach trees; a yel- 

 lowish footless grub, having the second segment greatly 

 widened and flattened.] 



This borer closely resembles the flat-headed apple-tree borer 

 in all its stages, as well as in its habits. 

 The perfect beetle (Fig. 113) is from eight to eleven lines 

 long, and is of a shining bronze or copper-color ; 

 the wing-cases are elongated, their tips separating 

 quite widely from each other, and appearing as if 

 broken squarely off at the apex.
