LIST OF SPECIES COLLECTED WITH NOTES ON THE SAME. 



In the following lists species are in general not duplicated 

 under each association in which they may occur but are 

 listed under that one in which they are most abundant and 

 if they are at all common in any other association a note is 

 made of that fact. If the breeding place is known the spe- 

 cies is always listed there, as ecologically an animal is "at 

 home" only where it breeds. Some of the species have been 

 collected only once or a few times. These are listed where 

 found although we are aware that to place an animal ecologi- 

 cally on only a few collections is mere guess work. Since 

 however so little collecting has been done in this region it 

 seemed best to tabulate all species leaving it to some future 

 entomologist to make corrections. Since all such cases are 

 mentioned in the note under the same no harm will be done 

 if the reader will remember that one marked rare or uncom- 

 mon may really belong somewhere else. Beetles which are 

 not in Fall and Cockerell's List of Coleoptera for New Mex- 

 ico are marked (*). The same is used for Orthoptera not in 

 Cockerell and Scudder's list or for Diptera not listed for 

 New Mexico in Aldrich's Catalogue. means that the species 

 has not been reported from that locality in the lists cited. ** 

 indicates that the species has not been reported from New 

 Mexico previously or that it was named from specimens sent 

 from here. (N) means that the species is of northern or 

 north-eastern origin, (S) of southwestern or Sonoran* The 

 Coleoptera were determined by Prof. H. P. Wickham, the 

 Orthoptera by Prof. Lawrence Brunei 1 , the bees by Prof. 

 Cockerell, the hemiptera by Wm. Gerbart or Heinman of the 

 National museum to which institution all other groups were 

 also sent. The Cicindelidae were almost determined by Dr. 

 V. E. Shelf ord of the University of Chicago to whom the 

 writer is deeply indebted not only for many valuable sugges- 

 tions and help in the local field but also for his training in 

 animal ecology. Many species yet await identification and
