THE GENUS DENDROCTONUS.

although it is distinctly separated by specific characters. It is more 

 nearly related to the southern and smaller Mexican pine beetles than 

 to any other species, and therefore it may be found that it has two 

 generations, and a partial third, annually. It is also probable that 

 under isolation and favorable conditions it may, like the southern 

 pine beetle, become very destructive. (See "Economic features" 

 and "Methods of control" under Nos. 1, 2, and 4.) 



BASIS OF INFORMATION. 



Data regarding this species were obtained through investigations 

 by the writer at Williams, Ariz., September, 1902, and Flagstaff, 

 Ariz., May, 1904, and by J. L. Webb at Flagstaff and Williams, Ariz.,

May to September, 1904, and Flagstaff, Ariz., August, 1907. It is 

 represented in the forest-insect collection of the Bureau of Entomology 

 by over 50 specimens. 



This species can be easily distinguished from No. 2, with which it 

 agrees in size, by the long hairs on the declivity of the elytra, and 

 from the smaller examples of No. 8 by the fine punctures of the striae 

 of the declivity, from No. 3 by the grooved head, and from No. 6, to 

 which it is closely allied, by the distinctly more pubescent pronotum 

 and elvtra.
