I hâve uot yet seeu a spécimen of this species from Egypt aud J 

 believe it bas never been recorded again from hère since its first 

 record by Wiedemauu in 1830 (his Trypeta liiteola being almost 

 certainly a synonym of this species). The above description is made 

 from one maie from Italy kindly sent me t)y Professor Bezzi 

 and two other maies from Austria given me by Dr. Czerny of 

 Vieuna.
