this locality that the only female out of 39 individuals captured was secured (March 
25th). Specimens were also obtained from the summit of the Puig de Maria, 
Pollensa, April 2nd, and from the summit of the Talayot of Trepuco, near Mahon,

insects flew close to the ground, continually alighting on the earth and stones, E. B.
