ON A SMALL COLLECTION OP BEES FROM JUAREZ, 



MEXICO. 

 By T. D. a. Cockerell, M.M.Agr.Exp.Sta. 



On Oct. 6tli, 1899, I had the opportunity of spending a little 

 while at Juarez, in the State of Chihuahua, and of collecting 

 there the bees enumerated below. The species marked with an 

 asterisk had not previously been reported from Mexico. 



*(1.) Halictus pectoraloides, Ckll., one female, at flowers of 

 Aste?' (Leiicosyris) spinosiis. 



*(2.) Perdita sphceralcece, Ckll., one female, at flowers of 

 Sphceralcea fendleri lohata.\ 



*(3.) P. heliotropii, Ckll. ; see Entom., 1900, p. 63. 

 (4.) P. alhipennis var. helianthi, Ckll., one female, at flowers 

 of Helianthus annuiis. 



*(5.) Andrena pulchella, Rob., one female, at flowers of Heli- 

 anthus animus. 



(6.) Melissodes agilis, Cress., one male, two females, at 

 flowers of Helianthus annuus. 



\ This is Sphceralcea lobata, Wooton, Bull. Torrey Bot. Chib, xxv. 1898, 

 p. 306. At Mesilla Pa'k, N.M., it varies into a form havin<if leaves exactly as 

 in the type of S. fendleri, Gray, of which it may be considered a subspecies. 

 The plant is new to the flora of Mexico.
