Although not targeted, additional records and specimens were also obtained from Colfax, Do^a Anna, Lincoln, Otero, San Miguel, Sierra, and Sandoval Counties. Field work was conducted from KK April through EI September. We attempted to visit each field site at least twice, and often three times, throughout the growing season. In total, CIE new county records ?Table E@ were discovered including five new state records ?pending expert verification@. A complete list of records is available from Heil. Also a new species of !"#$%&'% ?Fig. E@ was discovered in the San Mateo Mountains and additional material of another new species of !"#$%&'% ?Fig. K@ from the summit of the Sandia Mountains was collected. /#@1( A.

These two new species will be described and submitted for publication in the next few months.
