Brown, J uly 3rd. Also taken by Wickham. Disir. Southern Texas and 
Tamaulipas to Southern Arizona and Lower California. 
477. Anthonomus aeneolus, Dietz. — Breeding in fruit of Solarium 
eleaginifolium at Eagle Pass, Texas, and Cuidad Porfirio Diaz, Coahuila, 
in July. Also taken at Brownsville. Distr. Southern Texas up the Rio 
Grande Valiev to Southern New Mexico. 
478. Anthonomus leucostictus , Dietz. — Numbers bred from sdeds of 
Xanthoxylum pterota , July 4th. Also bred by Schwarz from same seeds 
at San Diego, Texas. Distr. Known only from Texas. 
479. Anthonomus xanthoxyli , Linell. — Beaten in large numbers from 
Xanthoxylum pterota in edge of palmetto thicket near Santo Tomas, 
June 27th. From a handful of green Xanthoxylum seeds gathered on 
this date, fifty-two weevils of this species issued up to July 4th. On 
August 20th, only a few specimens were obtained by beating the Xanthox- 
ylum bushes at the same place. Also beaten by Schwarz from the same 
shrubs and bred from the seeds at San Diego, Texas. The weevils appar- 
ently breed singly in the seeds. It is interesting to note that no parasites 
were bred from the weevils. Distr. Known only from Southern Texas. 
480. Anthonomus testaceosquamosus, Linell. — Seven specimens col- 
lected in heads of flower buds and on stems of Abutilon holosericeum, 
June 17th to 24th. This weevil probably breeds in the seed capsules of 
this plant, as does A. grandis in cotton. Distr. Known only from 
Southern Texas and Tamaulipas. 
481. Anthonomus brevirostris, Linell. — Taken near Brownsville in 
June . Distr. Known only from this region. 
482. Tychius sulcatulus, Casey. — A large series taken by Wickham at 
Point Isabel, Texas, in July. Distr. This is a maritime species known 
only from the seacoast of the Lower Rio Grande region. 
483. Tychius inermis, Casey. — A large series taken by Wickham in 
July. Distr. Known only from this region. 
484. Tychius , sp. — One specimen taken at Agua Negra, Texas, May 
8th. Length, one and four-fifths mm. Color, light mahogany brown, 
sparsely grayish pubescent. Underside more densely lead-gray pubescent. 
Antennae black. Distr. This is doubtless a new species inhabiting Mex- 
ico and reaching Southern Texas. 
485. Sibinia ochreosa , Casey. — Taken by Wickham in July. Distr. 
Known only from this region. 
486. Laemosaccus sp. — Two specimens of this doubtless new species 
were taken on stalks of Abutilon holosericeum at Santo' Tomas, June 
6th. On June 18th, two specimens were found in cells inside dead stalk 
of the same plant, and one on stems of a live plant. The species breeds 
in the stalks. A specimen was taken by Wickham on a live cotton stalk, 
June 28th, which would seem to verify my prediction that it may attack
