Plantation........ .The grub is found in the cambium layer, under 
the bark of old trees, on which it feeds,” 
At my request for more specimens the beetles here described 
‘were obtained and sent me in June (1903), by the District 
Forest Officer, North Arcot. At present we have no further 
information about this insect. This beetle has a strong reseme 
lance to the Kulsi Teak Borer, S. daréatum, which riddles 
young teak in Assam!
