Coleoptera of the Sacramento Mountains of New 

 Mexico* — III. 



By W. Knaus, McPherson, Kansas. 



June 12 to 18, 1905, were spent in collecting Coleoptera at or 

 near Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Of this time a part of a day 

 was spent at Alamogordo, at the foot of the Sacramento 

 Mountains, and one day at Santa Rosa, at the crossing of the 

 Pecos River. I had collected over the same region in 1902 ; and 

 at the same season, but of the seventy species here listed, at 

 least sixty-five of them did not occur or were not seen at the 

 time covered by these dates. 



Of the species here listed, seventeen are new to New Mexico. 

 Fourteen are new to southern New Mexico, five genera are new 

 to the territory and one family is also new to the territory. 



Most of the species have been identified by Mr. H. C. Fall, 

 of Pasadena, Cal., to whom thanks are due. The localities for 

 species other than Cloudcroft, Wootens, Alamogordo, Conant 

 and Santa Rosa should be credited to the "Coleoptera of New 

 Mexico," unpublished, by Messrs. H. C. Fall and T. D. A. 

 Cockerell, the latter gentleman having kindly given the 

 localities.
