Hosts. — Adults have been reared from red maple (Acer rubrum

Chrysobothris difficilis Le Conte, 1873, Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. Proc. [25] : 332. 

 (Credited to Gory, but is probably a typographical error for dissimilis Gory, 

 as no Chrysobothris has been described under the name difficilis.) 



Chrysobothris semisculpta Crotch, 1873, Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. Proc. [25] : 90. 

 (Probably a typographical error for insculpta Herbst.)
