I have not seen, nor have I been able to obtain aeeurate 

 information regarding, Hahn's ' leones ad monogr. Cimicum,' 

 1826. There were apparently twenty-four plates, but only one 

 page of letterpress, so that the genera were probably not defined. 

 The following appear to be at least named in this work, viz. : — 

 Globocoris, Pilophorus, Centroproctus, HyjJselonotus. 



SOME BEES VISITING THE FLOWERS OF MESQUITE. 

 By T. D. a. Cockerell, N.M. Agr.Exp. Sta. 



The bees here enumerated were colleeted by Miss Nora New- 

 berry at the flowers of mesquite {Prosopis glandidosa, Torrey) at 

 Mesilla Park, New Mexico, May 20th, 1900. It is an indication 

 of the richness and variety of our bee-fauna, that even after so 

 many years of collecting by the present writer in the immediate 

 vicinity, two of the species are new. 



(1.) Centris rhodopus, Ckll., three males. 



(2.) C. lanosa. Cress., one male. 



(3.) C. lioffmanseggice, Ckll., one female, four males. 



(4.) Atithidium paroselce, Ckll., five males. 



(5.) Megachile chilopsidis, Ckll., one female. 



(6.) M. deomis, subsp. lippite, Ckll., two females. 



(7.) M. sidalcecs, Ckll., one female. 



* Subgenus (?) of Tetigonia, Geoffr.
