The larvn^ (Fig. 23oa) orgrubs of this weevil are some-times very injurious to pinetrees, by destroying the terminal shoots; as many as fortyhave been found in one shoot, which they had perforated invarious directions. Tliey assume the pupa form (Fig. 2336)within their burrows, first gnawdng a passage to the outsidefor the egress of the perfect beetles (Fig. 233, left). In thevicinity of Sacramento these insects have peen found on pinetrees that had been planted for ornamental —Nos. 26 and 248 INSECTS INFESTING THE FINE. CHAPTER CLX. The Pales Weevil. (Cal.) [HyJohixis palix.—Herbst.) Order, Coleoptera ; Family, Cueculionid^. [Living beneath the bark of the pine tree; a whitish footlessgrub, finally transforming into a dark brown or black snout-beetle, about fovn- lines long, and marked with numerouswhitish spots.] Before pupating the larva gnaws a passage to the outside ofthe bark, but leaves a thin covering to its burrow in which itassumes the pupa form. Fig. 234.—Pales Weevil—colors, black, brownand white. In due time it is changed to a beetle (Fig. 234)which gnaws through the thin covering of itsburrow and makes its escape. I have found thegrub, pupa and perfect insect of this species inpine slabs shipped from the mountains, andhave found a specimen having a similar appear-ance on pear trees. Remedies
