NOTES ON NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA HYMENOPTERA. 



BV C. H. TYLER TOWNSEND, LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO. 



With the exception of some undetermined gallflies and parasites, 

 the following list of 86 species contains all the Hymenoptera collected 

 (and bred) by the author, in the South-west, of which it has proved pos- 

 sible to get the names, except four mentioned in Can. Ent., 1892, p. 200. 

 The gallflies and parasites above referred to will be recorded in some 

 papers to be published in the future. The Cottonwood, Blennocampa^ 

 mentioned in Can. Ent., 1893, p. 304, and in Zoe, iii., pp. 234-236, 

 should also be included in the above exception. 



As the list is not large, the species are arranged alphabetically. The 

 fact that I have not been able to refer to Cresson's catalogue explains 

 this, as it does the absence in most cases of the authorities for the species. 



In the four cases where the query and asterisk occur, two species got 

 mixed under one number in sending for identification to Ent. News, so 

 that it is uncertain to which the locality and notes belong.
