tint and having all its marks more coarse, rough and irregular; 
but the rows of coarse punctures on its wing covers are at equal 
distances from each other instead of being in pairs, the interve¬ 
ning spaces having many irregular elevated black polished spots, 
and the elevated transverse line upon the front is interrupted 
and less prominent, and its size is rather larger, being about 
0.60 long.

Cerambycidas.) 
Boring a cylindrical hole transversely in the interior of the 
wood, chiefly of decaying and dead trees and their logs and 
stumps, often doing serious injury to timber; a large white soft 
and flesh-like grub, nearly cylindrical, without feet and with 
numerous fine hairs of a fox red color, divided into fourteen 
segments by strongly constricted transverse sutures, the second 
segment larger than the others and flattened, horny and inclined 
obliquely downward and forward, the next ones very short, and 
all the following except the last one with a transverse oval 
rough space on their middle above and below; its pupa state 
passed in the interior of the wood; changing into a Long¬ 
horned beetle which gnaws its way out of the wood, forming a 
perfectly smooth round hole nearly large enough to admit the 
end of the finger; the beetle appearing in July, 1.05 to 1.20 long, 
with remarkably long slender tapering antennas, nearly thrice 
the length of the body in the males, and shorter, little exceeding 
the length of the body in the females ; its body brownish gray, 
on the wing covers freckled with small black spots interspersed 
with a few hoary white ones, which towards the base are often 
placed symmetrically; the thorax with but a few faint punc¬ 
tures and in its centre a polished black elliptic callous-liko spot, 
and on the middle of each side a stout conic spine, which is 
coated around its base with hoary white hairs; the antenme 
black gradually changing to clay yellow towards their tips, and 
not alternated with gray bands in either sex; the middle shanks 
with a tooth-like prominence on their outer edge beyond the 
middle, as in the two following species also. 
r l his and the two following are the most common and perni¬ 
cious borers which we have in pine timber, in the State of New-
