268 Mr. F. D. Morice on New Chrysids. 



1 $ taken by myself on Ammi visnaga, just outside the 

 village of Sidi Okba, near Biskra, in Algeria (Province of 

 Constantine) : 16. vi. 1911. 



The size and general appearance of this insect give 

 it a superficial likeness to Chrysogona assimilis, Dhlb. 

 (? fumila Klug). But the long genae at once separate it 

 from that species ; and though in my specimen the upper 

 wings are sadly torn, and one is wanting altogether, enough 

 remains of the other to show that its neuration is not that 

 of a Chrysogona but of a Chrysis.
