Tachytes crassus Patt. a 
A @ from Boulder, Colo., August 26, 1906 (S. A. Roh- 
wer), has four silvery bands on the abdomen, which would 
tend to run it into T. columbae Fox but the pubescence on 
the face is golden and the longest spur of the hind tibiz is 
as that of T. crassus. Again T. crassus is known to occur in 
the west while T. columbae has not been recorded from the 
west. I have seen a typical specimen of crassus from Ros- 
well, N. M. (Ckll.). This locality is new.

No. 102. Zonabris trifurca Gerst. (Coleopt.) ~ 
‘This Meloid beetle is a prominent member of a group deserv- 
ing mention because of their flower-feeding habits. Both 
flower and vegetable gardens suffer from their presence. As 
they occur in large numbers they are not easy to combat. Their 
life cycle is interesting in that their larvae are parasitic in the 
oothecae of Orthoptera. These beetles are very distasteful to 
most insect-eating animals, and are consequently wonderfully 
mimicked by widely different groups of insects. I am publish- 
ing in another journal* a study of this interesting subject.
