Colo.; Escalante, Utah, and Santa Fe, N. Mex. The species is repre- 

 sented in the forest-insect collection of the Bureau of Entomology by 

 more than 300 specimens of the insect and its work. 



This species is closely related to the western pine beetle, but is dis- 

 tinguished by the slightly more slender form, coarser rugosities, and 

 distinctly impressed striae of the elytra. It is easily distinguished 

 from the other species occupying the same range by the denser rugosi- 

 ties and absence of long hairs on the elytra.
