A large white grub, closely like the foregoing, end boring in the wood in a similar 
manner, in the month of June producing a beetle of similar form bnt of a shining 
black color, its wing-covers having small patches 
of short hairs here and there resembling spots of 
white mold, their surface rough from coarse con- 
fluent punctures and the thorax similarly punct- 
ured across its middle, its base and apex with 
\' irregular transverse wrinkles, and its sides with 
a conical spine, which is not clothed with hairs; 
the scutel coated over with white hairs, aud the 
antenna double the length of the body in the 
males, and in the females with a gray band on 
the base of each joint, its length varying from 
0.60 to 0.7f>. (Fitch.) 
This is a common and sometimes abun- 
dant beetle in Maine and northern New- 
England generally, and especially in the 
lumber regions of Lake Superior, whence 
I have received it in large numbers. It 
also occurs in the pine forests of British 
America and in Washington and Oregon 
along the Pacific coast. Though I have 
taken it on the white pine, in Maine, in 
July, I can not relate more concerning its 
habits and larval forms than is contained

Order Coleoptera : familv Cerambycidj:. 
A small grub resembling a young apple-tree borer, mining the wood of the pine, ana 
in July becoming a small cylindrical long-horned beetle, which is found upon the 
leaves, 0.25 long and about a third as broad, clothed with numerous erect black hairs 
on the body and antenna 1 , and gray ones on the legs ; its color shining pale chestnut, 
with irregular and oblique and transverse spots and streaks of gray on the wiug-covers, 
which are coarsely punctured, the punctures dense ou the base and fine on the apex; 
its thorax uarrower, slightly darker colored, closely punctured, having a very small 
tooth-like point on each side and aloug its middle a gray line which is widely inter- 
rupted in the center, the sides aud also the head with thin gray pubescence : its 
antenn.v shorter than the body, coarse, and the joints becomiug suddenly shorter after 
the fourth ; its under side blackish brown, the legs pale chestnut. 
This species is of the same color with E. tomentosus of Haldeman, 
which, however, is Larger, with gray hairs instead of black, and the 
wing-covers with ocher-yellow spots and streaks. (Fitch.)
