BoLETOBius Leach. 



B. FUNDITUS Scudd. Station number 17. One specimen, collected by 

 Mrs. W. P. Cockerell. 



Mycetoporus Mann. 



M. DEMERSUS Scudd. Station number 14. One specimen, collected by 

 Mrs. W. P. Cockerell. 



Bledius Leach. 



B. OSBORNI Scudd. Station number 14. One specimen, collected by 

 Mrs. W. P. Cockerell. 



Deleaster Erichs. 



D. GRANDiCEPS n. sp. (Plate I, Fig. 3.) Form similar to that of the 

 recent Colorado species, D. trimacnlatus. Head larger than the prothorax, 

 eyes prominent, antenna? incrassate distally but with the joints not dis- 

 tinct. Prothorax distorted, narrower than the head and somewhat con- 

 stricted in front of the base which is subequal to the apex, the sides pro- 

 tuberant. Elytra much broader at base than the prothorax, each apparently 

 with a large rounded light spot in front of the middle. The entire upper 

 surface is simply finely scabrous, but traces of punctures show that a 

 better preserved specimen might indicate another type of sculpture. Length 

 of fragment, 7.25 mm. 



Station number 14. A single specimen, collected by Geo. N. Eohwer. 

 The type is in the Museum of the University of Colorado. 



This was a larger species than the one with which is has been 

 compared and was probably not strictly congeneric^ though of 

 the same general type. In D. trimaculatus the elytra are darker 

 at the apex and in the seutellar region, but haye no well defined 

 light spots. 



Adalia 3Iii1s. 



A. SUBVERSA Scudd. A specimen sent directly from Professor Cockerell 

 is referred here. It is of the same size and form as Dr. Scudder's ex- 

 ample and of a similar light color, preserved in dorsal view, and shows 

 the insect to have been a member of the group Coccinellae to which Adalia 

 belongs. The coxal lines of the first ventral are well exhibited. The an- 

 tenna is moderately long and gradually clavate as in the recent A. bi- 

 punctata. Since Dr. Scudder made his identification practically upon fa- 

 des alone, it is interesting to have it verified by the discovery of this 

 better specimen. 



Station number 14. Collector not specified.
