Parsons (loc. cit.) states that this species has been collected on 
Yucca elata. Saguaro (Cereus giganteus) is certainly the principal 
host plant in the Tucson area. We have never taken the species in 
other blossoms. C. pallipemnis frequents saguaro blossoms only in 
small numbers. 
EMELINUS MELSHEIMERI (LEC.) IN ARIZONA 
(COLEOPTERA: ADERIDAE). — This species has not been 
recorded from west of Illinois and would be expected to occur only 
in the mesophytic portions of the Northeast and Midwest. Leng’s 
record from Florida may refer to a misdetermined E. ashmeadi. A 
single male, collected at light by Anthony Ross, of the Department of 
Entomology, University of Arizona, in Pinery Canyon, W. slope 
Chiricahua Mts., July n, 1958, agrees perfectly with the male from 
Illinois mentioned previously (Werner, 1956, Psyche 63: 32). This 
brings the total of described species known from Arizona to three. 
A small portion of the fauna of the Chiricahua Mts. appears to have 
been derived from that of the Midwest or at least from the same 
source. J. W. Green has recently identified a specimen of the lycid 
Caenia dimidiata (Fab.) from Pinery Canyon, July 9, 1955, Butler 
and Werner collectors. He expressed some surprise at its occurrence 
there, since it was previously known from only as far west as Arkan- 
sas. — F. G. Werner, University of Arizona.
