range of species within the subfamily. It is mainly results of these sti'dies 

 and the more recent publications of others that serve as a basis for this review, 



116. . 1978. Contributions of J. D. Mitchell to the early knowledge of 

 Texas insects. Melsheimer Entomol. Ser. 24: 27-35. 



Mitchell became a collaborator, or agent, with the Bureau of Entomology in 1904 

 and continued in that capacity for a period of 17 years. The establishment of 

 the U.S.D.A. laboratory at Victoria and his friendship with W. D. Hunter un- 

 doubtedly had much to do with Mitchell's subsequent participation in entomolo- 

 gical research and made possible his major entomological contributions. The 

 laboratory was moved to Dallas in 1905 but fieldwork was continued at Victoria 

 for many years. Mitchell became associated with several outstanding entomolo- 

 gist who were stationed at the laboratory for varying lengths of time, including 

 Hunter, W. E. Hinds, A. W. Morrill, A. L. Quaintance, W. W. Yothers, and W. D. 

 Pierce. Other entomologist visited Victoria during the period of the greatest 

 research activity on the boll weevil and other cotton pests. It was under 

 these stimulating circumstances that Mitchell's noted observational talents 

 were used to best advantage.
