from April to June; flies from April to August; causes some damage to 
the wood of injured and dead trees but is a benefit in clearing land be¬ 
cause it mines the wood of stumps and causes more rapid decay. 
At Tryon, N. C., on July 23, 1903, Mr. W. F. Fiske found a number of 
very small adults of what appears to be this species on the limbs of a 
felled dead hickory. 
Buprestis consularis Gory.—Black Hills of South Dakota, Colorado 
and Idaho; on dying and dead yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa scopu- 
lorum) and douglas spruce (Pseudotsuga taxifolia), especially trees 
attacked by Scolytids; flies in July, August and September. 
Buprestis connexa Horn.—-Idaho, northern and sierran California; 
on stumps and felled trees of western yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa) 
and Jeffrey pine (P. jeffreyi); flies from July to September. 
Buprestis nuttalli Kirby.—Colorado; one specimen of what appears 
to be this species collected with B. consularis on bark of dead yellow 
pine (Pinus ponderosa scopulorum), by Mr. Geo. Hofer on August 2, 
1916, in Waldo Canyon. 
Buprestis Iceviventris Lee.—Idaho, Arizona, Oregon and California; 
mines wood of injured, dying and dead trees; sugar pine (Pinus lam- 
bertiana), yellow pine (P. ponderosa), lodgepole pine (P. murrayana), 
digger pine (P. sabiniana) and Monterey pine (P. radiata); pupates 
and transforms to beetle stage from March to July; flies from May to 
October; causes some damage to the wood of injured and dead trees; 
causes rapid decay in yellow pine stumps and thus assists in the clear¬ 
ing of land; probably occurs throughout the range of its primary host 
the yellow pine and may be the same as nuttalli; one immature speci¬ 
men which appears to be this species was taken from the douglas spruce 
(Pseudotsuga taxifolia). 
Buprestis maculiventris Say.—Black Hills of South Dakota, Colorado, 
New Mexico and Arizona; flies from July to September in forests of 
yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa scopulorum). One specimen which 
appears to be this species was taken by Mr. E. J. Kraus at Pike, N. H., 
on July 8, 1908. 
Buprestis subornata Lee.—California; mines wood of dead yellow 
pine (Pinus ponderosa); flies from July to October; adults rather rare, 
found most commonly on the foliage of young trees. 
Buprestis rusticorum Kirby.—Montana, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, 
Arizona, Washington, Oregon and California; mines wood of dying and 
dead trees; douglas spruce (Pseudotsuga taxifolia), alpine fir (Abies 
lasiocarpa), lowland fir (A. grandis), and white fir (A. concolor); 
pupates and transforms to the beetle stage from April to July; flies 
from May to October; does some damage to the wood of dying and 
dead trees; probably occurs throughout the Rocky Mountain and
