BOMBID.E. 

 Bombus fervidus Fabr. 



One % . 



Bombus teruarius Say, car. biiarius Cress. 



One $ . By the wider band of black pubescence on dorsulum, 

 continued back on scutellum where it divides the yellow, the black 

 pubescence at base of second abdominal segment and brownish hairs 

 on tibiae, this resembles bifarius. One $ on flowers of Jamesia amer- 

 ieana June 30, 1902 (Viereck). 



Bombus teruarius Say. 



May 30, at Iris missouriensis and wild plum flowers; August 10- 

 18 (W. P. Cockerell). " Not so abundant asjuxtus." 



Bombus |ii \i n* Cress. 



Three 5 $ . May 30, at Iris missouriensis and wild plum ; August 

 16-23 (W. P. Cockerell). "A very abundant species at 8,000 9,000 

 feet " (T. D. A. Cockerell ). 



Bombus appositus Cress. 



One $. June 29, 1902 (Viereck); August 16, at Polemonium 

 cceruleum (W. Porter). This specimen varies from the type in the 

 lighter color of all the pale pubescence, that of the abdomen being 

 of a lemon color compared with the ochraceous color in the type 

 from Colorado. August 16, at Polemonium cceruleum, rather com- 

 mon (W. P. Cockerell). 



Bombus consimilis Cress. 



One 9 . June 29, 1902 (Viereck). This is apparently a species 

 new to New Mexico. In the type the abdomen has ochraceous pub- 

 escence on first two segments, the rest black. The specimen here 

 recorded has the pale pubescence on first segment very sparse, the 

 segment almost bare as though the hair were rubbed off, in fact the 

 hairs that do exist on the middle of the segment are largely black, 

 fhe yellowish ones only prominent at the sides of the segment
