150 INSECTS INJURIOUS TO FOREST AND SHADE TREES. 
Providence, R. I. The body is brown, with an olive-green tint. Head 
and thorax punctured. Each wing-cover with five ridges, four of them 
well marked and smooth, the interspaces with scattered 
punctures. On the head between the eyes are five yellow 
spots; two simple dots, two long spots on the orbits, send- 
ing two projections outward, and a line in front sends three 
projections upwards. Two unequal yellow spots under the

Fic. 65.—Bup- Spots on each side of the end of the abdomen beneath. 
restis ruatee” Length 0.65 to 0.92 inch. Leconte also adds that this species 
aatom Pack is nearly allied to Buprestis maculiventris, which occurs in 
the northeast from Pennsylvania to Newfoundland. 
11. YELLOW-DOTTED BUPRESTIS. 
Melanophila fulvoguttata (Harris). 
Appearing upon pines ia June, a more flattened beetle than the fore- 
going, 0.30 to 0.43 long, of a brassy black color with three pale yellow: 
dots on each wing-cover placed towards the hind part and equidistant 
from each other, the hindmost ones nearest to the suture and the middle 
ones farthest from it; the fore ends of the wing-covers moderately 
rounded and fitting into corresponding concavities in the base of the 
thorax; the whole surface covered with shallow rough punctures run- 
ning together transversely and somewhat resembling the grained side 
of morocco leather, and the thorax having an indentation on the mid- 
dle of its base like the impression of the head of a pin. (Harris’s Trea- 
tise, p. 44.) 
12. DRUMMOND’S BUPRESTIS. 
Melanophila drummondi Kirby. 
This species, with Buprestis rusticorum, Chrysobothris trinervia, and 
Dicerca prolongata, we have collected in the pine timber of the mountains 
of Utah, in the American Fork Caton, late in July, and it 
is probable that all will be found to inhabit the trunks of 
coniferous trees. It also inhabits Oregon and Washington 
Territory as well as Alaska and New Mexico, (Santa Fé, 
Snow.) Leconte describes it as being densely punctured, 
» Shagreened, with shining, metallic colors, especially on the 
Hie. 68.—Dram- prothorax, with three bright yellow spots on the posterior 
lanophila.Col- two-thirds of each wing-cover, the anterior spot being the 
orado.— From 
Packard. larger. Length 0.40 inch. 
13. THE PITTED BUPRESTIS. 
Dicerca punctulata Schonherr. 
Occurring mostly upon the pitch pine (Pinus rigida) ; an obscure cop-— 
pery or black beetle, half an inch long, convex above with the tips of
