Mr. Wenzel exhibited some Bruchids from Texas. 

 Bruchus julianus was said by Mr. Fall to be very variable

 m Texas from Fort Davis to the Chisos Mountains which 

 were typical julianus. The Brownsville species is not julia- 

 nus, but a new one. The small species, julianus, does not 

 vary and it is found on the ground. A species of Lcbia 

 found in the desert in Texas had been described from the 

 Huachuca Mountains of Arizona by Schaeffer. It is not a 

 variety of viridis.

 Wenzel in the Huachuca Mountains is a Mexican species 

 and not hitherto recorded in the United States.
