1897.] ON LEPIDOPTEEOUS INSECTS FROM TUE RED SEA. 775 



3. A List o£ the Lepidopterous Insects collected on the Eed 

 Sea, in the neighbourhood of Sualdm, by Mr. Alfred J. 

 Cholmley. By Emily Mary Sharpe '. 



[Received June 1, 1897.] 



The present collection was made by Mr. A. J. Cholmley, who 

 accompanied the late Mr. Theodore Bent ou his expedition to the 

 Bed Sea, north ol: Suakim, during January, February, and March 

 1896. 



Although there are no new species, the collection is very 

 interesting, on account of his having obtained specimens of lolatis 

 nursei, Butler, and Heliothis 2nctifascia, Hampson, which were 

 recently discovered by Captain Nurse.
