of dead American elm (Ulmus americana) and hickory branches.

wood. Adults were reared May 30, from the sapwood of dead redbud 
(Cercis canadensis) branches collected at Hummelstown, Pa.; also on 
May 29, from the sapwood of dead (Crataegus coccinea) branches collected 
at Harrisburg, Pa., and from the sapwood of a dead white pine (Pinus 
strobus) branch collected at Manada Gap, Pa.

it seems to be largely secondary in its attack. 
Chrysobothris dentipes Germ. Was reared from the bark of a dead 
white pine (Pinus strobus) collected at Dauphin, Pa. :
