COLLECTING IN SEVERAL PLACES IN 1916-1918. 157 



Of the Nearopcera I took Crea(/n's cinerascens commonly at Umm el 

 Kilab, and a species of Chrysopa which is not represented among the 

 Egyptian specimens at Cairo. C. cinerascens was out throughout Sep- 

 tember and October, and often flew to light at night. 



The Hymenoptera were poorly represented at Kilab. There I took 

 Dorj/liis oraniends occasionally in September and later, Aplmenogaster 

 harhara, Miitilla riijipes, MyvDiecocyntiis inaticns, and of course Canipo- 

 notus macidatns. With these Cairo reports unidentified species of 

 Amwophila and Poinpilas, and a Braconid. At Der el Belah I took, 

 on August 3rd, males of Dielis collaris and a single Amiiwphila tydei. 



Of the Diptera I took three hitherto unidentified species of Asilids, 

 and some Sarcophagids and Tachinids also unidentified, with a species 

 of Arfiyyo)iio('ba, this last at Der el Belah. 



Of the Heteroptera-Homoptera I find Cairo to have identified 

 Lyyaeiis iiulitan's and Ldorhyssns hyaliniis. A Jassid was not uncom- 

 mon on herbage at Umm el Kilab in the autumn. 



SCORRIER. 



I should add to the butterflies I took at Bude in August, Melan- 

 argia galathca, which occurred in bad order near Bude. At Scorrier 

 Dry as paphia and Celastrina argiolns were more than uncommon, they 

 were rare. I was informed by a school boy collector that Pleheins 

 aegon [argm] had been more frequent earlier in the month of July, and 

 that many Pyrameis cardui had been about in late May. 



The Odonata noted at Scorrier were C or dideg aster annnlatus, Orthe- 

 triim caeridescens, and a Sympetrum, apparently striolattim. At Bude 

 C. amudatiis v/as common, and I took or saw Calopteryx virgo in mid- 

 August at two or three pools in the little Bude river. An Agrionid, 

 which I am almost sure was PJnallagina cyathigeriDii, occurred occa- 

 sionally on the canal at Bude as late as the beginning of September. 

 Finally I may note that on two occasions in August, at Bude, I saw a 

 very large dragonfly, which I took to be a female of A)iax imperator, 

 though I know that this is a very late date and believe that the species 

 in question has not been taken so far south-west.

Some new records from the Constantinople District. 



On -June 26th I visited the dov/ns near Kuchuk Chekmeje, E. of 

 the Chatalja lines, to hunt for Satyrids, since I had not previously 

 visited this ground in June. I took in an hour and an half 12 

 specimens of Melanargia larissa; a large form, which appeared to me 

 to be lighter than a few (worn) which I have from Artaki, Marmora, 

 Asia Minor. With these occurred in smaller numbers a very fine race
