Abstract
Dasycerus bicolor, a maculate, apterous species of the family Staphyli nidae, is described. These mycophilus beetles are restricted to endemi c forests of some high elevation areas in the Blue Ridge and Great Smo ky Mountains where the species now may be threatened by the precipitou s, anthropogenic decline of Fraser firs, Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poiret.
