This species is more generally distributed over the state than 

 the preceding although it is more common to the north and west. 

 Glen, Pine ridge, Sioux county, Sand-hills, Springview bridge, 

 Cams, Imperial. I secured a single female at Lincoln in June, 

 1908, which is the only one from eastern Nebraska that I have 

 seen. 



Tribe ODONTOTARSINI 



Genus Phimodera Laporte 



Phimodera binotata (Say). 



1824. Scutellera binotata Say, Long's Exp., p. 298. 



I obtained a male of this interesting little insect at Halsey, 

 Nebraska, on September 23, 191 1, by sifting the sand in a blow- 

 out. The species agrees fairly closely with the description of 

 Say, though there are one or two prominent features which he 

 does not mention, such as the pale spots within the stigmata and 

 the light colored tubercles at the incisures of the connexivum. 

 The specimen is covered with a very short, whitish pubescence. 



Genus Eurygaster Laporte 

 Eurygaster alternatus (Say). 



1828. Tetyra alternata Say, Am. Ent., Ill, pi. 43, fig. 3.

Present across the state in the northern part. Specimens in 

 the collection are from Glen, Pine ridge, Sioux county. West 

 Point and Cedar Bluffs. A somewhat variable species both in 

 size and markings.
