ENTOMOLOGY OF COLORADO. 333 



Cfinadiau. Haltica evicta is quoted from Oregon ; H. punctipennix 

 goes East to Missouri and West to California. Crepidodera helxines is 

 widely distributed and also European. Chset. subviridis is found in 

 Kansas, Montana, Arizona and California. Phyllotreta pusilla is 

 widely distributed in the West, and a rather serious pest. PsyUiodes 

 convexiur has a very wide distribution, mostly southern. Thus it is 

 seen that our Haltieini are derived from various sources, and by no 

 means purely boreal. 

 Adoxiis vitis (more properly called obscurus L.) is also European and 

 Asiatic; so also is Entomoscelis adonidis, 



BRUCHID^. 



247. Bruchus fraterculus Horn. 



TENEBRIONID^. 



248. Emmenastus acutus Horn. 



249. Embaphion sp. near contusura Lee. Specimen with Dr. Riley. 



250. Asida opaca Say, "Kansas" [^^ Colorado] and New Mexico, neir the 



mountains (LeConte, 1859). Denver (H. G. Smith, Jr.). 



251. Asida sordida Lee. Also sub-alpine. Denver (H. G. Smith, Jr.). 



252. " marginata Lee. 



253. Iphthimus sp. incert. [At Canon City Mr. Wickham found /. serratus.] 



254. Coniontis obesa Lee. Also at Salida (Wickham). 



255. Conibius sp. incert. Specimen with Dr. Eiley. 



256. Eleodes tricostata Say, E. New Mexico (LeConte). 



257. " obsoleta Say, West Cliff. Down to Pueblo (Wheeler Report). 



E. New Mexico (LeConte), 



258. Eleodes extricata Say. Also subalpiue. E. New Mexico (LeConte). 



259. " nigrina Lee. E. New Mexico (LeConte). 



260. " hispilabris Say. In the Wheeler Report this is recorded from 



San Luis Valley, Fort Garland and plains S. of Denver. 



261. Blapstinus lecontei Muls. 



262. •■ pratensis Lee, "Platte River Valley, abundant" (LeConte). 



263. " vestitus Lee, Platte River Valley (LeConte). [At Canon City 



Mr. Wickham found B. dilatatiis.] 



264. Paratenetus fuscus Lee. E. to New Jersey (Smith). 



Of the above nine genera, the first seven are absent from the New Jersey 

 li,st; and P. fuscus is the only species also recorded therein. Yet the 

 Tenebrionidai are well represented in New Jersey with thirty-otie 

 genera. In the Iowa City list there are eleven genera of Tenebri- 

 onidse, only one of which, Blapstinus, is common to our district, and 

 of this the species are different. Thus we see that both as to the 

 forest Coleoptera [e. g. Cerambycidse) and those of open ground 

 (Tenebrionidse) the fauna of our district is almost totally distinct 

 from that in the vicinity of Iowa City. 



Trimytis pruinosa was found by Mr. Wickham in the lower mid-alpine at 

 Salida, and also in the sub-alpine at Canon City.
