fJnly, 



The species rests with the wings folded togetlier backwards parallel to 

 the body. Both sexes about equally frequent." 



Evans's observation of the position of the wings is interesting. In 

 this respect it differs from Lesfes and agrees with the closely allied 

 European S. fiisca. The latter is remarkable on account of its habit of 

 hibernating, pairing taking place in the early spring. 



S. paedisca annnlata was originally described from Malatia and 

 Antioch. The example from Quetta referred to by me as S. fusca. 

 Trans. Ent. Soe. Lond. 19()7, p. -SOS, is no doubt of the same form. 

 Further information regarding the different Asiatic forms will be found 

 in Bartenef's pa]3er, " Contributions to the Knowledge of the Species of 

 the Genus S//mpf/cn a, etc.''' (Aimuaire du Mus. Zool. de 1' Academic Tmpl. 

 des Sciences de St. Petersbourg, t. xvii, 1912).
