Some Hvpermetmnorphic Beetles 33 



Ammophila pictipennis Walsh. 



This is a neighbor of Epinomia, but so far as known is not an 

 enemy, its food being caterpillars. The holes are considerably 

 larger than Epinomia holes. 



Cicindela fulgida Say. 

 Cicindela togata L,af. • 

 Cicindela punctulata Fab. 



These beetles are predaceous on almost anything within their 

 reach. They have been taken in the act of catching Epinomia 

 and Myodites. The melanistic form of fulgida is common on 

 the salt basins, but has not been described. Dr. Wolcott expects 

 to describe it in a revision of the list of Nebraska Cicindelidae. 



Panurginus piercei Cfd. 1 



The holes of this species are about 4 mm. in diameter and 

 extend straight downward. Usually a little pile of dirt is thrown 

 up and cemented around the entrance. It is found in but one 

 small community. Epinomia is also present, but less numerous. 

 The holes have not been investigated. A single specimen has 

 been taken on Grindelia squarrosa. 



Halictus ligatus Say. 



Lincoln, September 8, 1903, one female, Pierce. This speci- 

 men was taken from a hole 3^ or 4 mm. in diameter, into which 

 a Nomada was seen to enter. This bee visits Solidago. 



Halictus tegularis Rob. 



Lincoln, August 28, 1900, one female, Crawford. This speci- 

 men was collected on coming from a hole. 



Cockerellia albipennis Cress. 



Lincoln, 1901, Crawford, Pierce. Several specimens of this 

 were seen entering small sized holes in these regions. This bee 

 is recorded from Solidago. 



Andrena pulchella Rob. 



Lincoln, 1900, Crawford. Only two or three holes of this 

 Solidago bee were found.
