This curions and interesting insect seems to be extremely 

 rare, the only two spécimens, both maies, which I know, were bred

 my collection labelled "feeding on A/>his pruni on reed-grass, 

 Ghezireh, spring 1909" and the other in the collection of the Sulta- 

 nia Agricultural Society labelled "bred from lîanana plant, 

 Ghezireh".
