that verus is after all a variety of cressoniellus. This idea re- 

 ceives support from the fact that additional specimens of P. 

 verus show much variation, while the males do not appear to 

 differ from those of P. cressoniellus except in venation. A 

 male verus from Beulah, N. M. (July 27, Cockerell) has the 

 wings unusually reddish. Both sexes (one pair united) were 

 taken by Mr. S. A. Rohwer at Topaz Butte, Colorado, at flow- 

 ers of Drymocallis fissa, June 23 and 30, 1907. All things con- 

 sidered, I believe we ought to write P. cressoniellus verus. 



Panurginus bakeri (Cockerell). 



Rio Ruidoso, White Mountains, New Mexico, prox. 6500 ft., 

 August 4 ( Townsend). 



Panurginus neomexicanus Cockerell. 



Beulah, New Mexico, August 18, $ (IV. Porter) ; Rio Rui- 

 doso, N. M., prox. 7600 ft., at flowers of Solidago trinervata, 

 August, $ (Tozvnsend). 



Panurginus boylei (Cockerell). 



Las Vegas, New Mexico, males at flowers of Meliotus alba 

 and Sphaeralcea lobata, August 9 (IV. Porter). 

 Panurginus pauper flavotinctus Cockerell. 



Las Vegas, N. M., females, one at Grindelia nuda, August 

 14 (IV. Porter}. The female is easily known from P. nigrinus 

 Viereck by the very fine sculpture of the metathorax, with the 

 margins of the basal enclosure shining. 



Panurginus innuptus Cockerell var. absonus v. n. 



1 $ . With a rather large supraclypeal spot ; stigma and ner- 

 vures dark reddish brown. Easily known from P. rudbcckiae 

 (Rob.) by the broadly truncate lateral face marks and the 

 thicker flagellum. Pecos, New Mexico, August (IV. P. Cock- 

 erell). I believe that comparison of types will show that P. 

 innuptus is identical with P. picipes (Pannrgns picipes Cres- 

 son). 

 Panurginus illinoiensis (Cresson). 



Males from Fedor, Texas, April 2 and 21 (Birkmann), 

 which I had doubtfully labelled as a variety of P. renhnacu- 

 hitus, prove to be entirely distinct from that species, and to 

 agree with P. illmoisensis, although the wings are paler and 

 the tibiae show more yellow than in a specimen from Vir-
