In the larval stage this is occasionally destruc- tive to mangels, but the dam- age done by this pest in Cornwall has not so far been serious. In 1899 com- plaints were received from the Wadebridge district, and in 1901 and 1902 several fields about Llikeard were injured, but as a rule the beetle is somewhat scarce, and one may collect over a considerable area for an en- tire season without captur- ing a specimen thoracica, L. rugosa, L. t- sinuata, F. dispar, Herbst.
