5. Buprestis aurulenta Linnaeus View in CoL ,

Syst. Nat., 12th eel., 661, 1767. Obenberger, Coleopt. Catalog. (111): 407, 1930.

One specimen of this American species was obtained in our residence at Piti , July 9. It had apparently issued from a porch floor board as there was an exit hole which appeared fairly fresh . Two other similar holes had an older appearance. The boards were of Douglas fir which had been shipped from the Puget Sound region. The house was constructed prior to 1915. It does not seem probable that the larva of this beetle could have existed for that length of time before maturing.
