It will be seen that this common European species did 
not occur to either Mr. Eaton or myself at Biskra. (Its 
coloration is perhaps ill adapted to desert surroundings.) 
BEMBEX MEDITERRANEA, Hdl. 
Many 2¢ 2 of this common species were taken by Mr. 
Eaton and myself from April to August, but curiously 
only one @ (on Zizyphus lotus, at Biskra, 30. iv, 95. 
A. E. E.). 
af occurred on Scabiosa iotundifolia at La Calle in 
July, on Nitraria tridentata at Biskra in May and April. 
Also at Hippdéne (“by the railway ”) and at Bone (“along 
the sands by the sea”).

BEMBEX OCULATA, Latr. 
Mr. Eaton took both sexes (dating from April to October) 
in various districts, and I (at Biskra) 7 22 (an May and 
June), but apparently no f &.

visited :—Lryngium triquetrum and Mentha rotundifolia 
(Médéa), Ammi visnaga (Biskra and Hippéne), Zizyphus 
lotus and Echinops spinosus (Biskra), Scabiosa rotundtfolia
