of hair on outer side of hind legs, etc.; from cordleyi by the much 

 smaller size, sculpture of niesothorax, etc.; from k-uttcc by the broad 

 abdominal bands, more pointed apical plate, color of hair of thorax, 

 etc. The mandibles have a depressed ferruginous spot just before 

 the apex. 



Hab. — Gibson, New Mexico, Sept. 15, 1905. {3Tiss Anna Gohr- 

 man). 



Miss Gohrman also sends Anthophora montana Cress., from Gib- 

 son, collected on the same day. The locality is near Gallup, in a 

 region whence no bees have hitherto been obtained. 



TetralonJa lepida (Cresson). 



A brightly-colored % from Texas (Ci'esson coll.) is so like the 

 9 T. cressoniana (except for the usual sexual differences) that it is 

 difficult to believe that they do not belong together. The pubes- 

 cence, including the abdominal bands, is quite the same. However, 

 the differences in the sculpture of the thorax and the marginal cell, 

 mentioned in my original account of cressoniana, remain valid. It 

 seemed unlikely that tliese differences could be sexual, or due to in- 

 dividual variation, but I now consider the validity of cressoniana 

 somewhat doubtful, in the absence of more material. 



Tetraloiiia gillettei (Ckll.). 



The range is greatly extented by a S found by Mr. Birkmann at 

 Fedor, Texas, May 17, 1904. The wings are not so reddened as in 

 the type, and there is a small supraclypeal mark. 



Xeiioglosiiia priiinosa (Say). 



Lee Co., Texas, June {Birkmann). New to Texas. 



THYGATER Holmberg. 

 Through the kindness of Dr. F. Ameghino, I have just received 

 a copy of Holmberg's work, " Delectus Hymenopterologicus Argen- 

 tinus," and I find that Thygater is the same as Macroglossa,pis, hav- 

 ing M. terminata (Sra.) for its type. A second species is Macroglos- 

 sapis chi'ysophora {Thygater chrysophora Holmbg.). For some 

 reason which I do not understand, Holmberg on p. 385 cites Thy- 

 gater as having been published in his paper in Actes Acad. Cordoba, 

 1884, p. 133, although on p. 506 he states that it is a new genus. If 

 it had really been published in 1884, it would of course have pri-
