.SOMK INSECTS FROM STEAMBOAT SPRINGS. COLORADO— I. 



BV T. 1). A. COCKERELL, BOIJLDER, COLORADO. 



Steamboat Springs is only about 85 niiles from Houlder, as the crow 

 tlics. It is, however, far on the western side of the range, in a region 

 hitherto little known to entomologists, because only quite recently 

 accessible by rail. It is situated in a fertile valley, at an 

 altitude of 6,680 feet, and is evidently destined to become a 

 place of considerable importance. I recently spent a day (May 

 27) collecting there, and present herewith the principal results, not 

 only on account of the general interest they seem to possess, 

 but also in the hope of encouraging the beginnings of scientific activity 

 among th: youHjj people of the locality. .M )it attentio:i was naturally 

 given to the bees. 



Hv.MENOPTERA ApoiDEA ( Antliophoridie and .Megachilida'). 



Emphoropiii Johtnoiti Ckll. — /\ dead male, being dragged along by 

 an ant. 



Oi'tiia permo>ata,x\. sp. — Female. Length about 14 mm., robust, 

 dark green, with the legs entirely black ; hair of head and thorax above 

 very bright rich fox-red ; of first abdominal segment above, and scantily 

 on middle of second, rather paler red ; elsewhere, including scopa, the hair 

 is black except some reddish on inner side of anterior tarsi. I had confused 

 this handsome species with O. novomexicana Ckll., which it superficially 

 resembles. It is, however, easily separated by the dullish area of meta 

 thorax, without any pit ; the same part in novomfxicaua is smooth and
