the eighth segment is provided with lateral combs of from 6 to 

 8 long teeth and from i to 4 short teeth, like figure 9, between 

 them. On all these segments there is a small chitinized plate 

 near the anterior margin and around spot behind, all most 

 obvious on the hinder segments. Joints 3 to 7 have also a pal- 

 mate hair on each side near the posterior margin. Figures 7 

 and 8 show a lateral and dorsal view, respectively, of the res- 

 piratory structures. The ninth segment bears a chitinized 

 saddle ; on the dorsal surface are two plumose hairs and a tuft 

 of long, sparsely branched hairs. On the ventral surface is a 

 fan-like tuft of branched hair. The tracheal gills are less than 

 half as long as those in A. maculipennis or A. punctipennis. 



Altogether, this larva is separable from those of its allies by 

 satisfactory, readily recognizable characters. 



The Coleoptera of the Sacramento Mountains of 



New Mexico. II. 



BY W. KNAUS, McPherson, Kansas. 



I include under the above head several species of Cicindelidtz 

 and a few other species taken at Santa Rosa and Alamogordo, 

 New Mexico. 



My second trip to the Sacramento Mountains was made the 

 first week in August, 1903. and a week was spent at Cloud- 

 croft and immediate vicinity. Collecting covered the dates 

 August 3rd to loth. Many species taken in June, 1902, were 

 also found here in August, but a majority of the species had 

 disappeared and had been succeeded by others at the latter 

 date. Insect life in general, however, was not so prolific as 

 in the earlier months of the year previous. 



The elevation of Cloudcroft, 9000 feet, made the nights 

 cool, and on only one evening, August gth, was the tempera- 

 ture high enough to tempt any considerable numbers of Cole- 

 optera to come to the electric lights. 



The total number of species in this list, about 130, includes 

 none that were given in my first list, published in the NEWS 

 for June, 1903. Of those listed in this paper, Mr. T. D. A. 

 Cockerell informs me that eight genera and twenty-five species
