This species is found living in much the same conditions as T. perforatus. 
Rtippell discovered it in the Pyramids of Gizeh; many years ago I obtained it in 
numbers in the recesses of the ruins at Karnak. It is exceedingly plentiful in the Upper 
Nile Valley, in the Sheik-el-Akabah district, and in the ruins of Gebel Auli, where 
Capt. S. S. Flower found it in large numbers in the spring of 1900. It is found in 
Somaliland and the coast district about Assab ; Colonel Yerbury met with it, associated 
with BouseMus arabicus {supra^ p. 90), in a cavern on the banks of the Wadi Jughur at 
Lahej near Aden. Canon Tristram saw it living “■ in myriads ” in caverns on the shores 
of the Lake of Galilee. It has also been recorded from the Euphrates Valley, and Kach 
in North-western India. The specimen reported by Dobson from Gambia is more 
probably T. senegalends than this species. 
[In the female collected by Capt. Flower at Gizeh the forearm measures 70 millim. ; 
it bears the note “ Knocked down on road after sunset.”— W. E. de W.]
