^ Biskra, stony hills north-west of the town, visiting 

 Acanthi illi'i tragacanthoidcs. " This species is common in 

 the desert, vigilant and very swift on the wing, hovering 

 and darting otf at the least alarm like Macroglossa stella- 

 tarum or Plm^ia gamma ; in the intervals of business they 

 alight to bask on stones, sometimes hovering down, after 

 the manner of .small Syriihidx approaching flowers, their 

 hum is nearly of the same pitch as that of an excited 

 hive-bee. I once found one asleep under a stone towards 

 evening." 27, i, 94. {A. E. E.)
