Westcott, Richard L., 2023, New host and distribution records plus additional notes for North American species of Chrysobothris Eschscholtz (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), with designation of a lectotype for Chrysobothris vulcanica LeConte, 1861, Insecta Mundi 2023 (967), pp. 1-10 : 2

Chrysobothris analis LeConte, 1860

Nelson et al. (2008) listed 22 species in 10 families as larval hosts for this species. A specimen reared from an ornamental species of Juniperus L. ( Cupressaceae ) (new larval host), emerged V-1992, Texas, Bexar Co., MacArthur Park, D. W. Sundberg, RLWE. Also, two adults were taken on cypress [another conifer of an unknown genus, undoubtedly an ornamental], Texas, Bexar Co., San Antonio, Witte Museum, 3-VI-1992, D. W. Sundberg, RLWE. The records from conifers are of special interest because all other of the numerous host records known for C. analis are hardwoods. Additional specimens were reared from Dodonaea viscosa (L.) Jacq. ( Sapindaceae ) (new larval host), emerged 2-V to 4-VI, 1979, Arizona, Pima Co., Organ Pipe Cactus Nat. Mon., Jim Cope (CSCA, RLWE). These had been misidentified as Chrysobothris bicolor Horn.
