PIN B. TRUNK. 
I have met with this in a pine grove distant from any other 
trees, rendering it certain it had been bred in this wood. 
236. Pine Enderces, Enforces Pint, Olivier. (Coleoptera. Cerambycidse.) 
A small cylindrical Long-horned beetle, having a wide separa¬ 
tion between its thorax and abdomen, giving it some resem¬ 
blance to an ant, 0.23 to 0.30 long, of a bright chestnut color, 
with its abdomen and the posterior third of its wing-covers 
black, the wing covers crossed obliquely forward of their mid¬ 
dle by a silvery white line which does not reach to the suture, 
and posteriorly on the fore part of their black portion a gray 
band, which is placed in a shallow groove running obliquely and 
parallel with the silvery line; the thorax covered with fine im¬ 
pressed lines running lengthwise. 
This is said by Olivier to have been found on pines around 
the city of New-York, but it is probably a southern insect. 
See remarks on this species in connection with the Currant 
borer, No. 134. 
237 - Black-iiorned Calmdium, Callidium antennatum, Newman. (Coleop- 
tcra. Cerambycidse.) 
A flattened Long-horned beetle, appearing in May and Juno, 
about 0.52 long, of a deep Prussian blue color, often with shades 
of green in places, its antennae and legs black, its thorax hairy, 
and as broad as the wing covers, with the sides strongly rounded 
and above on each side of the middle a little round hollow spot, 
and its wing covers rough from close shallow punctures. 
Doctor Harris regarded this as identical with the European 
C. violaceum, deeming the latter to have been probably intro¬ 
duced into Europe from this country. See his Treatise, page 88. 
But entomologists now consider the insects of the two continents 
to be distinct species. Ours, doubtless, has the same habits 
with that of Europe, the larva living in the trunks of pines, ex¬ 
cavating a wavy shallow track under the bark, which is packed 
full of sawdust, and when almost fully grown, sinking itself 
obliquely downwards several inches into the wood, to repose 
during its pupa state. 
Specimens occur in which the thorax is plainly narrower than 
the wing covers, more distinctly punctured, and destitute of
