larger [pi. 20, fig. 11]. Dr Harris states that this species issues from the 

 trees between the end of May and the first of July. It may be recognized 

 by the aid of the above characters and the following: The thorax is not so 

 wide as the hinder part of the body and its posterior margin is hollow on 

 both sides to receive the rounded base of the wino; covers, on each of 

 which there are three irregular, smooth, elevated lines divided and 

 interrupted by large, thickly punctured, impressed spots, two of which 

 are oblique. The larva makes a slender, winding, serpentine gallery 

 between the bark and the wood of newly felled trees and presents the 

 usual buprestid characters. This species is reported as rather common on 

 pine wood and timber in Massachusetts, though not so abundant as 

 C. floricola Gory. It -occurs in Canada and the northern United 

 States. 



Chrysobcthris floricola Gory. 



A modestly colored, flattened beetle about Y% inch long occurs in midsummer on 

 hard pine branches. 



This modestly colored buprestid about z/% inch long [pi. 20, fig. 10]

 the Middle States probably into Canada. 



Chrysobothris pusilla Lap. & Gory 



A small, flattened beetle inch long is abundant on hard pine from June till 

 September. 



This small buprestid ^ inch long [pi. 20, fig. 9], was very abundant 

 on hard pine at Karner early in June till the first part of September 1901. 

 The blue abdomen, uncovered when the insect is in flight, glistens brightly 

 in the sunshine. This is a common pine insect ranging from North 

 Carolina probably to Canada and westward to Wisconsin.
