Megalhymus neumoegenii (^'^'^ Edw. Arizona, Doll. 



About ten miles from Prescott, Ariz., Mr. Doll noticed a rocky 

 cliff rising sheer from the roadside, and high up on its side some 

 butterflies dancing about. He climbed slowly up, about thirty 

 feet, and captured a specimen in his net, only to find its wings 

 utterly despoiled when he took it from his net upon descending. 

 On the following day he revisited the spot, having arranged a 

 heavy pad of cloth about the neck of a killing bottle, so that it 

 would not be broken when suddenly pressed against the rock. 

 Slowly he climbed up the sides of the cliff, and after two hours' 

 hard work had "bottled" seven specimens of this beautiful spe- 

 cies, which were sitting on the bare rocks, but oh, so shy!
