All specimens are with yellow hind wings; il 

 would be very intersting to know if the rose-winged 

 female form (ab. varentzovi Zub.; see U\arov, Horae 

 Soc. Entom. Ross., XL., No. 3, 191 2, p. 20), also 

 occurs in Palestine. 



66. Morphacris fasciata sulcata (Thnbg.). 



Jericho, 2/i March, 7 Oct.; Beisan, 25 July, 20 

 Oct.; Tabagha, 6 iVpr.; Jaffa, 17 Oct.; Nahr ez Zerka, 

 17 Apr.; Wadi Kelt, 9 Apr. 



Often quite common arriong rather thick grass 

 and annual vegetation. 



The species is widely distributed, ranging all 

 over Africa (except its northern parts whence thtre 

 are no records) and Southern Asia, including Ceylon, 

 and it is interesting to note that in most of the 

 African localities it is polymorphic, occuring in red 

 yellow, and orange-winged forms, while from 

 Asia only the yellow form (saicafaThnbg.) is known. 

 It seems right, therefore, that the nrme sulcala 

 should be applied to these Asiatic specimens as a sub- 

 specific designation. The attention of the future col- 

 lectors in Palestine must be drawn to the necessity 

 of watching for specimens with differently coloured 

 hind wings.
