Mermiria texana, Bruner, 1889. Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. , XII, 53, 

 pi. i, fig. 2. 



Hab. Lerodo, Durango, Mex. ; El Paso, Tex. (Bruner); Colorado 

 Springs, Col.; Ft. Grant, Arizona. It is said by Bruner to be "met 

 with only among the sisal jjroducing plants growing upon the rocky 

 hills back from the rivers." 



3. Mermiria maculipennis, Bruner. 



Mermiria iiiaculipennis, Bruner, 1889. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. ,Xn, 54. 

 Hab. San Antonio, Carrizo Springs, Texas. (Bruner.) 

 The National Museum contains one of Bruner's types from Carrizo 

 Springs and several other specimens from the same State, and in addi- 

 tion a male and female from Risville, Nevada, and a female from Kan- 

 sas which have the tegmina unspotted, but in other respects seem to be 

 very much like this species. It is possible that the species is not dis- 

 tinct from M. hivittata.
