 {Ximenesia) exauricalata, close to the Agricultural College, 

 Sept. 12 {Cockerel/, 5057). 



A very distinct little species, looking at first like a small 

 edition of P. jjerlmvis, but readily known by the light 

 tubercles and details of sculpture, as well as the size. 



Another addition to the list of New Mexico Panvrginiis as 

 given in Trans. Amer. Eutom. Soc. xxxii. p. 299, is P. piercei, 

 Crawf., which I collected at Raton.
