Enoclerus nigripes (Say) larvae feed on bark beetles in coni- fers, and on wood borers in hardwoods. Adults are brightly col- ored and about 8 to 12 mm. long. The head, thorax, base of the wing covers, and the undersides are dull red; the remainder is black except for two yellowish cross bars on the wing covers. The larvae are similar to those of Thanasimus dubins. The black- bellied clerid E. lecontei Wolc, has many hosts including bark beetles and weevils in pine, spru

Enoclerus nigripes (Say) larvae feed on bark beetles in coni- fers, and on wood borers in hardwoods. Adults are brightly col- ored and about 8 to 12 mm. long. The head, thorax, base of the wing covers, and the undersides are dull red; the remainder is black except for two yellowish cross bars on the wing covers. The larvae are similar to those of Thanasimus dubins. The black- bellied clerid E. lecontei Wolc, has many hosts including bark beetles and weevils in pine, spruce, and juniper. It also feeds on bark beetles, weevils, and small borers in hardwoods. Monophylla terminata (Say) feeds on borers and bark beetles in hardwoods. There also are reports of its feeding on white pine weevil larvae in white pine. Adults are about 4 to mm. long. The eyes are deeply notched in front, the last joint of the antenna is as large or larger than all of the others combined, the thorax is yellow with a black disk, and the sides of the wing covers are yellow. The larvae are white, soft-textured, and bear two well- separated hooks on the ninth abdominal segment. Cymatodera bicolor (Say) is an important enemy of round- headed and flat-headed borers in hardwoods in Eastern United States. Adults are about 5 to 10 mm. long. The color is dull blackish except for the legs, thorax, and basal joints of the an- tennae which are reddish-yellow mixed with black. The larvae are purplish. Tarsostenns univittatus (Rossi) is an important predator of powder-post beetles and other borers in dry, seasoned wood. The adult is small,slender, and shiny black except for a white mark across the middle of the elytra. The larva is very small and a 155.
