S. murginata, although not comnioii, seems to be widely dis- 

 tributed in Egypt. I hâve captured it in Cairo and neighboiirhoods 

 (Marg, Kerdacé, Maadi, Abou-Zaabal) and in the Marioiit district; 

 my dates extend from February lOth to MarA 15tli. The food plant 

 in Egypt is not known but I suspect it to breed in the capituhun of 

 Senecio sp. and in Ontaurea (dp.randrina Del. This species has a 

 very wide geographical distribution; it is recorded from Spain, 

 Dalmatia, Asia Minor, Madeira Island, Canary Islands and North 

 Africa. 



NOTE. — I hâve bred recently S. marginnta from the capi- 

 tuluni of Senecio coronopifolii/s and Picris sprengeriana from Ker- 

 dîîcé. The inflorescence was brought in the laboratory on 21. IV. 1924 

 and three spécimens 2 cf cf and 1 9 emerged 3.V.1924 and 

 3 0-0' and 2 9 9 S,V.U)24.
