In my table^ female A. fedorica runs to 8, and runs out because 

 it has no abdominal hair bands ; first segment (as also thorax) 

 with orange-fulvous hair ; basal half of second with a pruin- 

 osity of short and thin white hair. 



Melecta californica Cresson. 



Devil's River, May 3 and 6, 1907 (Bishopp and Pratt). 

 Both sexes at flowers of Monarda citriodora. The female is 

 M. miranda, the male californica, but they are one species. 



Anthidium lupinellum Ckll. 



Kerrville, April 11, 1907, male at flowers of Salvia pitcheri. 

 Previously known only from New Mexico. 



Dianthidium (Anthidiellum) gilense Ckll. 



Kerrville, April 11 to 13, at flowers of Marrubium vulgare. 



Dianthidium simile Cresson. 



Kerrville, April 12, 1907, at flowers of Tetragonotheca hido- 

 viciana. The female has more black on the legs than is nor- 

 mal, and the insect may be subspecifically distinct. 



Kerrville, according to Vernon Bailey, is in the Lower Aus- 

 tral, but immediately adjacent to the end of the tongue of 

 Upper Austral, which penetrates south-central Texas from the 

 north. The A. lupinellum and D. gilense, Upper Austral spe- 

 cies in New Mexico, should here be at the very limit of their 

 range in a southeasterly direction. Cotulla and Del Rio are 

 strictly Lower Austral. A. fedorica is unknown in New 

 Mexico.
