 sternite of male (C) and of female (D) of Chrysobotliris juniperinus.

 Harney County, Oreg. 



DISTRIBUTION 



From material examined : 



California: Willow Ranch (G. R. Struble). 



Oregon: Stein Mountains (7,500 feet altitude), Harney County, June 22-24, 

 1922, female and male types (W. J. Chamberlin). Sisters, June 23, 193S 

 (Frank M. Beer). Two miles east of Redmond, June to August (Gray and 

 Schuh). 



Hosts. — The larval habits are unknown, but the adults have been 

 collected on freshly cut Rocky Mountain red cedar (Juniperus 

 scopulomim Sargent) posts by W. J. Chamberlin, and on western 

 juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hooker) by Gray and Schuh. 



The sculpture and color on the dorsal surface of the body are rather 

 uniform, although some specimens are slightly more cupreous than 

 others. The third segment of the antenna is variable in length, in 

 some examples being shorter than the following two segments united, 

 whereas in others it is as long as these segments, and the clypeus 

 is slightly sinuate on each side of the median, angular emargination 

 in some specimens. Some specimens of both sexes are more robust 

 than others and are of the same shape as in lilaceous. The apex of 

 the last visible abdominal sternite in the female is either rounded 

 or slightly emarginate. The length is from 7.75 to 12.5 mm. and the 

 width from 3 to 5 mm. 



The female paratype of juniperinus was carefully compared with 

 the female type of lilaceous and no characters could be found for
