Before stopping in the Sacramento Mountains, I spent three 

 days at El Paso, Texas, and devoted a few hours each day to 

 collecting in the Rio Grande valley above and below El Paso, 

 and in the foot hills just north of the city. Owing to the pro- 

 longed drouth, vegetation was badly parched, and insect life 

 was reduced to the minimum. Only about twenty-five species 

 were taken as the following list shows : 



1, 39 Cicindela tenuisignata Lee. A specimen on saline bar near 



Rio Grande river, north of El Paso. 



2, 51 Cicindela sperata Lee. Three specimens as above; fairly 



common. 



3, 367 Bembidium luihicnlosum Chd. One specimen in the Rio 



Grande valley. 

 2, 2251 Actobius paederoides Lee. Two specimens. 



5, Exochomus hogei Gorh. Common on flowering shrubs in 



foothills north of El Paso. 



6, 3101 Hyperaspis fimbriolafa Melsh. Several specimens beaten 



from flowering shrubs north of El Paso. 



7, Hyperaspis var. pluralis Casey. Same as species. 



8, 3102 latcralis Mills. Two specimens, foothills north of 



El Paso.
