Before stopping in the Sacramento Mountains, I spent three 

 days at El Paso, Texas, and devoted a few hours each daj^ to 

 collecting in the Rio Grande valley above and below El Paso, 

 and in the foot hills just north of the city. Owing to the pro- 

 longed drouth, vegetation was badly parched, and insect life 

 was reduced to the minimum. Only about twenty-five species 

 were taken as the following list shows : 



1, 39 Cicindela tenuisignata Lee. A specimen on saline bar near 



Rio Grande river, north of El Paso. 



2, 51 Cicindela sperata Leer Three specimens as above; fairly 



common.

Grande valley. 

 2, 2251 Actobius paederoides Lee. Two specimens. 



5, Exochonms hogei Gorh. Common on flowering shrubs in 



foothills north of El Paso. 



6, 3101 Hyperaspis fimbriolaia Melsh. Several specimens beaten
