COLEOPTERA OF NEW MEXICO. 



By W. KxAUS, McPherson. 



IN the Transactions of the American Entomological Society, 

 volume 33, 1907, T. D. A. Cockerell and H. C. Fall pub- 

 lished a list of the Coleoptera of New Mexico with descrip- 

 tions of many new species. The number of species listed 

 totaled 2148. These were from the records of the author and 

 from the recorded captures of Dr. F. H. Snow, C. H* T. Town- 

 send, H. F. Wickham, E. A. Schwarz, H. L. Viereck, Dr. A. 

 Fenyes, Doctors Leconte and Horn, the Wheeler survey, as 

 reported by Henry Ulke, Hubbard and Schwarz, Schwarx 

 and Barber, by the writer, and by a few others. Since the 

 publication of this list, I spent two days last June at Santa 

 Rosa, Alamogordo, Cloudcroft and Deming, and the present 

 list of eighty-two species are either new to the New Mexi- 

 can list or are new localities for species already listed. Mr. 

 H. C. Fall and Dr. A. Fenyes have passed upon doubtful 

 species.
