Though the type of C. scriptipennis is lost, its descrip- 

 tion leaves no doubt that it is conspecific with C. serapis, 

 as is, also, probably C. sacer. 



C. serapis seems to be a rather widely distributed species, 

 occurring all over the Eremian subregion, from Algeria 

 to Transcaspia (cf. Uvarov, Horae Soc. Ent. Ross., xl, 

 no. 3, 1912, p. 31).

2. Sphodromerus pilipes (Jans.). 



1891. Caloptenus pilipes Jansou, Hart, Fauna and Flora 



of Sinai, pp. 183, 185, fig. 4. 

 1910. S[pJiodromerus] jyiUpes Kirby, Syn. Cat. Orth., iii, 



p. 549, no. 9. 



This species is scarcely distinct, save by the coloration, 

 from C. serapis, but I prefer to keep it separately until 

 further materials will be studied.
