Indian forest insects of economic importance Coleoptera . \xvi, figs, c, ^depict a side and dorsal view of the female beetle,fig. e the head of the male beetle, and figs, f to /variations in the number of spots on the elytra. f Since this was written Mr. V. Subramarian Iyer, Acting Forest Zoologist, published thefollowing note on this insect (in For. Bull. no. 11, 2nd sen 1912) : The thick white grubsbore into the wood of the roots of the tree in Nellore and Cuddalore. I found another specimenof Coelosterna spinator in North Arcot, the damage done by which is probably similar toC. scabrata. The existence of this latter in the grub stage was easily detected by the amountof sawdust found near the base of the saplings attacked, which ultimately die. In May andJune 1910 I saw traces of this borer in the casuarina plantations of Cuddalore, and I receivedbeetles of C. scabrata from Nellore. Mr. Iyer is, however, incorrect in his inference thatC. scabrata is identical with the unidentified longicorn described under Lamia sp. on p. 379 PLATE
