A black beetle about ]2 inch long with brick-red wing covers marked with reddish 

 yellow spots occurs on scrub oak. 



This, one of our more common longicorns, occurs on scrub oak in small 

 numbers at Karner. The beetle measures about yi inch in length. The 

 head and thorax are black, the latter being bordered anteriorly and pos- 

 teriorly, in well marked individuals, by a fringe of golden yellow hairs. 

 The wing covers are bt:ick-red, variously marked with reddish yellow spots, 

 there being two large ones at the basal angle, two on each wing cover 

 at about the basal third, one near the median line and another near the 

 anterior border, and a larger spot at the distal third with a more faintly 

 indicated one near the tip. It is abroad in July. 



This species has been recorded by Dr .Smith as common throughout 

 New Jersey and it has been listed by Dr Hamilton from Sparrow lake, 

 Ontario.

 September, the larva tunneling the wood.

 i8, 1901, and was' present in greater or less abundance during the summer.
