1 have seen this insect alive in Algeria on two occasions, and both times 

 failed to catch it, &st a cj near Alger, which we chased up and down a cutting 

 for nearly half an hour, and secondly a large 9 near Blida les Glacieres. Dr. 

 Hartert also saw one near Mustapha. My servant Harmon Drury saw one of 

 these insects at Hammam R'Oira, but missed it. Dr. Nissen has several Alger 

 specimens.
