Distribution. — Previously recorded from Chihuahua, Pecos 

 river, Tex. ; lower and southern Arizona, La Cueva, Organ moun- 

 tains, and Las Cruces in New INIexico, besides a record published 

 by Riley of one immature specimen from the Argus mountains, 

 Inyo county, Cal., the latter specimen being now before me. The 

 record from Utah, given by Walker and generally followed, 

 is no doubt erroneous. Walker had no material himself, and the 

 original specimen described by Haldeman came from Chihuahua. 

 The locality Utah was probably assumed from the title of the 

 work in which Haldeman published. 



The series examined includes the following localities : El Paso, 

 Tex., March 31, 1902, and Alamogordo, Otero county, N. M., May 

 13, 1902 (Viereck and Rehn) ; Lake Valley, Sierra county, 

 N. M. (Cope); Shovel Mount, Burnet county, Tex., July 31, 

 1901 (F. G. Schaupp). 



Synonymy. — An examination of the published figures and de- 

 scriptions of the forms v/hich I have included under this species 

 will show that they are identical, the slight differences which are 

 apparent being mainly in the figures, and can be accounted for 

 by the fact that several of them lack a considerable portion of the 

 detail of the insect. The original figure by Haldeman is very 

 good, in fact the best published, and Bruner' s lypes of robusta 



^ In the original form of the species Haldeman introduced in the first 

 syllable the Hebrew letter resh, to give the proper sound to the Latin- 

 ized mime. Walker translated it sch, but s7i is sufficient.
