OF WASHINGTON. 273 



E. Kunze, who, during the years 1896 to 1898, made quite ex 

 tensive collections, principally at Phoenix and Prescott, though 

 he also obtained specimens at Bowie, Camp Creek, Goldfield, 

 Huachuca, Nogales, Tucson, vSenator and Wickenburg. His 

 material is now contained in the collection of Mr. Charles C. 

 Adams, in that of Mr. Nathan Banks, and in the U. S. National 

 Museum. In 1897 Mr. H. G. Hubbard collected a few speci 

 mens in the Chiricahua Mountains, and at Fort Grant, Tucson, 

 San Simon, Willcox and Fort Yuma. In 1898 Mr. E. A. Schwarz, 

 in company with Mr. Hubbard, secured several species in the 

 Santa Rita Mountains, at Catalina Springs, near the old Camp 

 Lowell, at Oracle, and at Tucson. The Barber and Schwarz 

 collection was made at Bright Arigel (Grand Canyon of the 

 Colorado River), Flagstaff, Prescott, Williams, Winslow, and at 

 Hot Springs, in Yavapai County. Finally, Mr. E. J. Oslar made 

 collections at the following localities: Congress, Hot Springs, 

 Jerome, Prescott, Rio Verde and Thumb Butte. The Hubbard, 

 Schwarz and Barber specimens are in the National Museum, and 

 the specimens from Oslar in the collection of Mr. Nathan Banks. 

 A few individuals labeled "Ariz.," from the American Entomo 

 logical Society collection, and two in the National Museum from 

 " So. Arizona " (O. C, Poling), are also included. 



The following list embraces thirty species and two varieties, 

 including the nine forms seven species and two varieties here 

 considered as new and so described. These figures will be appre 

 ciated when we remember that, including these new forms, hardly 

 more than fifty recognized species are now known from the entire 

 United States, and of this number eleven species and one variety 

 are not yet known outside of Arizona and have been described 

 during the last six years. 



The ranges of certain species in Arizona accord well with 

 what is known concerning geographical distribution. For ex 

 ample, the Lower Sonoran fauna of Phoenix includes such forms 

 as Brachyneinurus carrizonus, B. quadripunctatus,\\\e species 

 of Acanthaclisis and Maracandula pygmaea, while in the 

 Transition zone (Prescott, etc.) occur more northern forms, 

 such as Brachynemurus nigrilabris, B. brunncus and Myr- 

 meleon immaculatus, variety occidcntalis. Species of wide dis 

 tribution B. ferox (peregrinus} , B. sackcni, Dendroleon 

 obsolctus, etc. seem to occur quite generally throughout the 

 Territory. 



I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Charles C. Adams for the 

 use of his large and valuable collection. It gives me pleasure 

 also to acknowledge the important assistance rendered by Mr. 

 Nathan Banks in furnishing locality records from his duplicate 

 and other material, and in giving me the opportunity of studying 

 his collection, including the types of all his species.
