Should this form of injury by the beetle be established, it might beof more economic importance than the service rendered by it in its•earlier stage of larva, when it is occasionally, at least, beneficial, in fer-reting out and destroying the apple-worm of the codling-moth and thelarva of the plum curculio and, as later discovered {Insect Life, i, ), feeding upon the pupoe of the destructive Pissodes strobi Whitepine attack on the Norway spruce, of what was in all probability thisinsect, was reported, in August, 1892, b}^ W.
