COLORADO ANIMALS AND PLANTS NEW IN 1911 79 



Class ARACHNIDA 



Order ACARINA 



Family TETRANYCHIDAE 



Stigmaeodes cinctus Ewing, Psyche, Feb., p. 39. Type in wild grass, Fort Collins (S. A. 



Johnson). 



It will be well to record here that Mr. E. Bethel reports the discovery of Tenui- 

 palpus coronatus Can. and Targ. (det. Banks) on Sabina scopulorum in the parks 

 at Denver. This is a European species, not before reported from America. 



Class CRUSTACEA 

 Order COPEPODA 



Diaptomus coloradensis Marsh, Trans. Wise. Acad. Sci., Nov., XVII, p. 197. "Corona, 

 Kremmling, Tolland and Mount Carbon, Colorado." Corona is herewith desig- 

 nated as the type locality. The material was doubtless collected by Marsh. 



Class INSECTA 

 Order NEUROPTERA 



Family MANTISPIDAE 

 Mantispa brunnea occidentalis Banks, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, XXXVII, p. 348. 

 "From Wawawai, Washington (Mann); Ormsby County, Nevada (Baker); and 

 Chimney Gulch, Golden, Colorado (Oslar)." Wawawai is herewith designated as 

 the type locality. 



Family HEMEROBIIDAE 

 Spadobius bifasciatus; Sympherobius bifasciatus Banks, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, 

 XXXVII, p. 347. "From Colorado (Baker)." I fully agree with the opinion that 

 the citation of a type species is sufficient to give validity to a generic name, from the 

 nomenclatural standpoint; but is it sufficient to simply combine the new generic 

 name with a specific term, without stating the origin of the latter, beyond naming 

 the author ? The priority of Sympherobius over Spadobius is based entirely on a 

 citation, in a list, of "Sympherobius amiculus Fitch," without anything to show that 

 amiculus was the insect described by Fitch in First Rept. Ins. N.Y., 1856, p. 95. 

 It is true, of course, that this would be surmised by anyone familiar with the group, 

 but is this sufficient to establish the name ? 



Family CHRYSOPIDAE 



Chrysopa pleuralis Banks, t. c, p. 341. "From North Boulder Creek, Boulder County, 

 Colorado, 21 Aug. (Rohwer), and Steamboat Springs, Colorado, 27 May (Cock- 

 erell)." North Boulder Creek is herewith designated as the type locality. 



C. separata Banks, t. c, p. 341. "From Chimney Gulch, Golden, Colorado (Oslar), 

 and Pecos, New Mexico, 23 June (Cockerell)." Chimney Gulch is herewith desig- 

 nated as the type locality.
