base and does not reach to the tip. Here also the last segment 
of the abdomen, beneath, has a tawny orange spot on each side, 
and the throat, mouth and face and a stripe on each side of the 
thorax are yellow, varied in places with red. 
227. Yellow-dotted Boprestis, Trachypterufulvoguttata, Harris. (Colcop- 
tera. Buprestidao.) 
Appearing upon pines in June, a more flattened beetle than 
the foregoing, 0.30 to 0.43 long, of a brassy black color with 
three pale yellow dots on each wing cover placed towards the 
hind part and equidistant from each other, the hindmost ones 
nearest to the suture and the middle ones farthest from it; the 
fore ends of the wing covers moderately rounded and fitting 
into corresponding concavities in the base of the thorax ; the 
whole surface covered with shallow rough puncture? running 
together transversely and somewhat resembling the grained side 
of morocco leather, and the thorax having an indentation on the 
middle of its base like the impression of the head of a pin. See 
Harris’ Treatise, page 44. 
228. Punctulated Bcprestis, Dicerca punctulata, Schonlicrr. (Coleoptera. 
Buprestidee.) 
Occurring mostly upon the pitch pine (Pinus rigida ); an ob¬ 
scure coppery or black beetle, half an inch long, convex above 
with the tips of its wing covers tapering, and this narrowed 
portion more lengthened than in any of the foregoing species, 
their surface occupied with close fine punctures and double rows 
of coarse ones, the narrow spaces between these rows often ele¬ 
vated in places, the elevations forming smooth oblong spots or 
irregularly interrupted ribs ; the thorax with coarser confluent 
punctures and with four elevated smooth stripes, the outer 
ones narrower and interrupted by a slight depression in the 
surface back of their middle ; and finally, a smooth transverse 
elevation upon its front extending from one eye to the other, is 
a mark whereby this species may be readily distinguished from 
most of those related to it. 
229- Tuberculated Buprkstis, Dicerca tuberculata, Gory. 
Another beetle which is met with upon the pitch pine, and 
resembles an individual of the preceding species of a more brassy
