Judging by the too short description, Macrocera cJypeata, 

 Radosz., seems to be closely allied, difl'ering by the entirely 

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

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

 Meiissina.

The tyi)e locality of this species is given by Metz as 

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

 Organ Mountains, New Mexico *. 



CoquUlettapis melittoides^ Viereek. 



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. 



Fanur(]omia fuchsi, Viereek. 



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



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

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