CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ENTOMOLOGY OF 

 NEW MEXICO. 



BY T. D. A. COCKERELL. 



II. SOME RECORDS OF DIPTERA 



I have in manuscript a catalogue of New Mexico Diplera, brought 

 up to date, but there would be no special advantage in publishing it 

 at the present time. Prof. Townsend has before him a considerable 

 collection of New Mexico Diptera awaiting study, and it is to be 

 hoped that he will eventually catalogue the species of the Territorv. 

 The present records are based on specimens collected by myself (unless 

 otherwise stated), and determined by Mr. Coquillett. Most of the 

 specimens are in the National Museum. In a few cases, duly indi- 

 cated, the determinations are not Mr. Coquillett's. 



Cecidomvid.^. 



Asphondylia sp. — At Santa Fe', in August, I took a species which 1 

 Suppose to be new, remarkable for its white tarsi. 



MvCETOrHILID.E. 



Sciara ^//w/V/cr/^, Say — Mesilla, April 19, on flowers of N'astitr- 

 tiiim sinuaiiini. 



Sciara ificonstans, Fitch. — Mesilla, June 11, breeding in a box of 

 plants in the house. They perished in numbers from the attacks of 

 an Empusa, which Dr. R. Thaxter said appeared to be different from 

 any species he had seen, unless it might be E. gloeospora, Vuill. 



N^eoglaphyroptera tainthe/nii, Lehm. — Santa Fe, Aug. 5. 



Eugnoriste occidentalis, Coq.- — Mesilla Valley, very abundant.
