10. Dociostavrus genei (Ocsk.). — Amara, 1 — 16-6-18 (Dr. Buxton) ; among 



vegetation in garden on Tigris below Amara, 3-6-18; garden above 

 Amara, 15-6-18 (Mr. Evans). 



11. Pallasiella truchmana (Fisch. Wald.). — Roadway through large marsh, 12 



miles below Amara, 22-5-18 (Mr. Evans). 



12. JEolopns thalassinus, Rossi. — Numerous sjjecimens from Amara, Enzeli 



Baghdad, Kazvin. 



13. Moloinis strejjens deserticola (Uvarov)". — Palm grove, BeitNa'ama, near 



Basrah, 8-4-19 (Mr. Evans). This desert subspecies of A. strepens 

 (Latr.) was described by me from specimens taken in Eastern Trans- 

 caucasia and Transcaspia. 



14. Pachijtylus danicus (L.).— Amara, 11-11-18, 20-10-18 (Dr. Buxton) ; 



Chahala, Amara, grassy ground, 5-11-17 ; Masharra, Amara, among 

 Acacia scrub, 17-8-18 (Mr. Evans). The dates of development of 

 imago in Mesopotamia are quite different from those obtained in more- 

 northern localities and they seem to indicate that this species has 

 here two generations in a year. 



15. (Edaletis senegcdensis, Krauss. — Enzeli, 7-6 — 10-7-19, vii., 19, common ;. 



Gilan, 14-61-9 (Dr. Buxton). As synonyms of this species are to 



be regarded : 



(Edaleus mlonkosiewitchi, Bolivar, Ann. Soc. Ent. Beige, 28, 1884, p.. 



cv. — cvi. 

 (Edaletis nigrofasciatus. Deg. var. c. Saussure, Addit. ad Prodr. 

 Oed., p. 42. 



16. CEdaleus nigrofasciatus (Deg.), — Kazvin, 7,000 ft., 26-8-19; Amara,- 



13 — 26-6-18 (Dr. Buxton); garden above Amara, 21-6-18; uncul- 

 tivated land, right bank of Tigris, 8 miles above Amara, 10-6-18. 



17. Mioscirtus wagneri (Ev.).— Tehran, 12-10-19; Amara, 15—28-6-18 (Dr. 



Buxton) ; on dry earthy places in garden on Tigris, Amara, 1-11-17 

 (Mr. Evans).' Saussure's Conozoa rogenhoferi (Add. ad. Prodr. Oedip.,. 

 p. 62, tab. 2, fig. 4, 4a, 4b, 4c) is evidently synonymoiis with Evers- 

 mann's species. 



18. (Edipoda schochi, Sauss. — Kazvin, 5 — 7-9-19 (Dr. Buxton). 



19. CEdipoda gratiosa, Sew. — Kazvin, 17-7 — 25-8-19 (Dr. Buxton). 



20. Acrotylus insubricus. Scop. — Many specimens from Enzeli. Kazvin,. 



Menjil, Baghdad and Amara. 



21. Helioscirtus moseri, Sauss. — Mesopotamia ; Jebel Hamrin, gravelly sum- 



mit, 3-12-18 (Mr. Evans). The specimens are quite like those from 

 Turkestan. I think that H. moseri ab. p)'i€tsclimanni, described by 

 N. Ikonnikovt) from Mesopotamia is a mere colour form. 



22. Sphingonoius ccETvlans, L. — In very large numbers from Enzeli, Gilan 



JMenjil, Ka2;vin, Baghdad, Amara. One specimen taken by Dr. Buxton, 

 at Tula Rud (Tah'sh) was the prey of a dragon-fly ; Dr. Buxton gives 

 the folioAving note on this occasion : "I saw the Acridian fly up as I 

 came along and the dragon-fly catch it securely in the air. Both were- 

 netted instantly and the Acridian was not hurt at all, so far as I could 

 see. Both species were common. The Odonatan has been determined 

 by K. J. Morton as Orthetrmn sabina, Drury." 



23. Sphingonotus satrapes, Sauss. — Amara, 26-6 — 4-7-18 (Dr Buxton). 



This large species of Sphingonotus has been known, so far, from the 

 southern parts of Transcaucasia and Russian Turkestan ; I knoAV 

 specimens (in the Tiflis Museum) from Tehran, but it is evidently 

 distributed further west and southwards.
