Indian forest insects of economic importance Coleoptera . arva, how the grub feeds upon the beetle-larva, whether the latter is usually killed before making its calcareous covering tothe pupal chamber, how the fly leaves the tree, and the number of generationsof the insect in the year, are some of the points requiring investigation. Bothrideres? sp. (p. 112)—The grub of this beetle apparently feeds uponthe Hoplocerambyx grub as an external or internal parasite, eventually killingthe latter before it pupates. Cocoon.—The cocoon consists of a yellowish-coloured parchment material which appearsto be made of very closely spun fine fibres of a ligneous nature. It is elliptical in shapeand 4.2 mm. in length. The cover was spun with a fewfine silk threads to the shrivelled skin of the cerambyxlarva. Beetle.—Elongate, narrow, reddish brown in colour.Thorax square, anterior margin concave, disk convex, punctate. Elytra moderately convex, punctate-striate.Length, 5.8 mm.

Life History.— In a larval gallery of H.spinicornis, opened out whilst splitting up agreen sal-tree felled in the Kachugaon forestson 16 May 1906, a blackish shrivelled skin ofthe grub of this beetle was found. The larvahad been engaged in eating out the gallery inthe heart-wood which finally terminates in the pupal chamber, and had died from exhaus- Bothrideres ? sp. Cocoon and , . beetle.

Anexamination of the tube on 19 May disclosed the fact that one-halfof the cocoon had been eaten down longitudinally, a reddish-colouredbeetle being observable inside.
