CEdipoda Schochii, Br. 



Seir, Aug. 16, 1898. 1 $ . 



This specimen, of which the wings have been bleached by the 

 spirit, is 35 millim. in length; de Saussure gives 32 millim. as 

 the dimensions of the female. Eecorded from Aleppo and the 

 Caucasus. 



Sphingonottjs sateapes, Sauss.'i 

 - Seir, Aug. 16, 1898. 1 c? . 



This specimen does not agree perfectly with de Saussure's 

 description, the posterior femora showing no black ; but this 

 character may have well been destroyed by the spirit, which has 

 considerably bleached it. The colour of the wings has entirely 

 gone, leaving a whitish base, with the black fascia. ^ hesitate 

 to regard it as distinct.
