Article XXIV.— LIST OF INSECTS COLLECTED BY THE "ALBA- 

 TROSS" EXPEDITION IN LOWER CALIFORNIA IN 1911, 

 WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF WASP. 1 



By John A. Grossbeck. 



(By Permission of the U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries.) 



The material listed below was secured by Dr. Chas. H. Townsend in 

 Lower California while in command of the 'Albatross' Expedition (1911), 

 and was collected in the Cape Region between San Jose del Cabo and 

 Triunfo, near sea level. 



Some of the species were determined from the collections in the Ameri- 

 can Museum of Natural History, but all such determinations were verified 

 by specialists who also identified the remainder of the material. 



Mr. A. N. Caudell of the United States National Museum, Washington, 

 D. C, is responsible for the determinations in the Orthoptera; Mr. S. A. 

 Rohwer of the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, 

 is similarly responsible for those in the Hymenoptera; Mr. H. G. Barber 

 of Roselle, N. J., has determined or verified the Hemiptera, and Messrs. 

 Leng and Beyer of New York City have likewise determined or verified 

 all the Coleoptera. To these gentlemen, as well as to Dr. L. O. Howard, 

 Chief of the Bureau of Entomology at Washington, through whom Messrs. 

 Caudell and Rohwer made their determinations, the compiler of this list 

 expresses his sincere thanks.
