MYRMELEONID^E FROM ARIZONA. 

 By ROLLA P. CURRIE. 



As first contemplated, this paper was to be simply a report 

 upon the ant-lion flies collected in Arizona by Messrs. E. A. 

 Schwarz and H. S. Barber during the summer of 1901. After 

 wards the writer decided to enlarge its scope and, following the 

 example of Mr. Nathan Banks in his recently published paper, 

 "Neuropteroid Insects from Arizona,"* make it as complete a list 

 as possible of the Arizona species. 



Up to the year 1897 b ut l^ 6 was known concerning the 

 Myrmeleonidae of Arizona. Hagen's " Synopsis of the Neurop- 

 tera of North America " contains no Arizona records in this 

 group of insects, and there are but two in his " Stray Notes on 

 Myrmeleonidae. "f Much of our present knowledge concerning 

 the ant-lion flies of this Territory is due to the efforts of Dr. R.
