 August, male in June (^Comber). British Museum. 



Judging by the too short description, Macrocera clypeata, 

 Radosz., seems to be closely allied, differing by the entirely 

 white clypeus of the female. It will, of course, be necessary 

 to know the mouth-parts of clypeata before referring it to 

 Melissina. 



Prosopis cooJcii, Metz, 1911. 



The type locality of this species is given by Metz as 

 "Filmore Canyon, Colo.,'^ but Filmore Canyon is in the 

 Organ Mountains, New Mexico *. 



Coquillettapis melittoides, Viereck. 



I recently saw the type of this in the U.S. National 

 Museum ; it is apparently Diadasia nigrifrons (Cresson), so 

 far as I could judge without actually comparing authentic 

 specimens of nigrifrons. It is not related to Entechnia. 



Panurgomia fuchsi, Viereck. 



I have examined the type female in the U.S. National 



* I also take occasion to note that Epitrioza medicaginis, Crawford, 

 1911, published as from " Colorado," came from New Mexico.
