aiid the second specimen (male) in an extremely in- 

 hüspilable pebble plain. 



The male (hilhertü undescribed) agrees in all 

 essential characters with the female typo, dili'ering 

 from it only in the following points : Smaller. Anten- 

 nae relatively longer. Frontal ridge distinctly impres- 

 sed near the ocelhim, witht the margins raised 

 throughout but obliterate near the clypeus. Temporal 

 fovcolae irregularly-oval, distinctly impressed. Metazo- 

 na of the pronotiim longer than in the female and very 

 sparsely reticulated even basally. Hind tibiae with 

 the apical fourth, a streak before the middle beneath 

 and inwardly, and the base inwardly, black. Length 

 of body i") mm.; pronotum 3 mm.; elytra i5 mm.; 

 hind femur 7.0 mm. 



The venation of the elytra, especially in the 

 male, is very aberrant for the genus, but it does not 

 seem wise to describe a new genus since the whole 

 group is very imperfectly known.

Merj Sanow, 16 June; Jerusalem, 12 Sept., Jeri- 

 cho, 8 June; Beisan, 20 July, 30 Oct.; Jaffa, 29 Oct.; 

 Caesarea, 26 Febr.; Akka, 28 June. 



The dates suggest that there are it least two 

 broods (June and Octol)er) and the adid's of the se- 

 cond brood hibernate.
