Major P. P. Clraves writes me : " I smv a bad specimen 

 of this or A. lineola in a small collection formed by Mr. T. H. 

 Marsden of Alexandria in the Troodos range." 



Mr. Wilsoji has not met with this species.

 not recognise it." — J.A.S.B., lUK). 



■' Rather rare in the plains in June and July."— G.F.W., 

 1918. 



Two or three specimens received are quite typical and 

 indistinguishable from a specimen 1 have from Central 

 Italy.

" I f(»und this species common." — J.A.S.B., lUKJ. 

 " Rare in the plains in June and July." — C.F.W., 1918. 

 Four specimens only have been received. Evidently it 

 is very local. 



[Parnara zelleri Led. 



" Major P. P. Graves informs me that this species has* 

 been taken in Cyprus. I did not find it." — J.A.8.B., 1916. 



There is no confirmation of this record. Major Graves 

 says {in lit.) : " I once took this species at Beirut."] 



Li conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to the Rev. 

 G. Wheeler for looking through the manuscript, and also 

 for help with the proof.
