CHRYSOBOTHRIS Esch. 



C. femorata Fabr. Common throughout the 

 State, from May to July, in many local 

 varieties, some of which have names. The 

 larva is the " flat-headed apple-borer," 

 which attacks also other fruit and many 

 forest trees, sometimes becoming injurious. 

 It favors trees low in vitality, hence keeping 

 trees in good condition is a good protective 

 measure. Where they are actually in the 

 wood they can be cut out, their location 

 being usually discernible by a slight dis- 

 coloration of the bark.
