These Caspian examples are rather larger and more robust looking 

 than those from Mesopotamia (hind Aving 3o-38 ; Mesopotamia 32i- 

 34 mm. or even less), and show more or less pruinescence, the paler 

 portions of the thorax mostly obscvu'ed always exce[)ting the vei'v 

 distinct pale line on the mesepimeron next to the l)lack humeral line 

 and sometimes ])ale lines on the margins of the mete})imeron ; the dark 

 parts of the frons and vertex metallic. The markings a})pear to l»e 

 heavier than is usual in examples from Basra, but a S from Sharoban, 

 K. ]^jala, is also rather heavih' marked on the thorax as follows : traces 

 of broad median markings at the dorsal carina ; strong and complete 

 antehumeral and humeral lines ; a strong black line in middle of mes- 

 epimeron not quite reaching the upper margin, acute at apex ; a broad 

 and less deeply black line at anterior margin of metepisternum broadest 

 towards the wing-base ; suture between metepisternum and metepimeron 

 narrowly black ; metepimeron with a large brownish marking forked 

 posteriorly.
