Two specimens from Haifa arc close to the Tulkcrani 

 scries but less slentler. Specimens from licisan have 

 got a relatively short pronolum, strongly constricted 

 in the mctazona and the supra-anal plate short. Spe- 

 cimen from \\ adi Kelt and from Jericho are similar 

 to those from llcisan hut smaller. A. pair from 

 Amman, Transjordan ia is remarkable for the very 

 small size and feeble denticidation of pronotum. A 

 general revision is necessary before the taxonomic 

 value of all these different forms may be established, 

 and in the meantime all collectors would do well to 

 try antl get extensive series of specimens from various 

 localities.

 are devoured.
