Abstract

The life history of Monarthrum fasciatum was studied from 1971 through 1973 on oak in Missouri. Three generations of the beetle were observed each year and the measurements of the life stages and the gallery components were recorded. The female to male ratio was approximately 2:1. No relationship was found between oak-wilt-killed trees and M. fasciatum.
