Extract

September 23, 1935, the writer exaimined the wharf of the Atlantic Sugar Refineries Limited at Saint John, N.B., which was under reconstruction owing to “decay” of the timbers. The officials of the company had discovered that these timbers had been riddled by borers which proved to be the larvae of an oedemerid beetle, Nacerda melanura L. As the references to this insect in the literature are scant and there is uncertainty as to its economic importance, the following notes are presented.
