PuaTE X. 
In the second half of July and the first half of August, 
1893, I made a journey in Bulgaria and Hast Roumelia, 
the results of which are published in the Magazine for 
Art and Science, edited by the Bulgarian Ministerium for 
Cultus and Education. ‘To make the descriptions of the 
new species also accessible to Non-Slavic Naturalists, 
I have the permission of the editors of that magazine to 
publish them simultaneously in a foreign periodical, 
and having the honour to be a member of the Entomo- 
logical Society of London, I take the liberty to present 
the English text.
