2. Palemnema paulina. (Tab. V. fig. 40.) 
Libellula paulina, Drury, Il. Exot. Ent. ii. t. 46. fig. 4 (entire insect) and Index (1773)’. 
Lestes paulina, ibid., Westwood’s edit. (1837) *. 
Euphea paulina, Rambur, Névr. p. 281 (1842)°. 
Palemnema paulina, Hagen, Syn. Neur. N. Am. p. 72 (1861) * [nec Selys (1860, 1886) ]. 
The following is a brief description of the two males examined: superior sector of the triangle ending 5-9 cells 
beyond the level of origin of the ultra-nodal sector on both pairs of wings; pterostigma on front wings 
surmounting 24-4 cells, its costal edge measuring 1-2-1°5 mm. long; postcubitals 24-29 on front wings, 
21-25 on hind. Abdomen 41 mm., hind wing 29:5-32 mm. 
Hab. Mexico (U. S. N. M.: 1 6), Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith: 1 6); 
Honpvuras, Bay of Honduras !. 
It seems necessary to separate the insects described under the specific name of paulina 
by Drury and by de Selys for the following reasons :—Drury’s figure 1 shows the brown on 
the wings to occupy the terminal eighth ; de Selys describes the apical fourth as brown. 
The two males above cited agree with Drury’s figure; only one of them, that from 
Atoyac taken in May, has the appendages present, and these differ from those of the 
only male I have seen agreeing with de Selys’s description of P. paulina (cf. Tab. V. 
fige. 39, 40, and p. 135, anted). 
3. Palemnema angelina. (Tab. VI. fig. 7.) 
Palemnema angelina, Selys, Bull, Acad. Belg. (2) x. p. 435 (1860) *; Mem. Couron. Acad. Belg. 
XXXVili. p. 147 (1886) *. 
Of the material at hand only one male has the appendages present, and these are almost identical with those 
of P. paulina figured on Tab. V. fig. 40, nor can 1 find any differences in venation or in pterostigma. 
Superior sector of the triangle ending 4-6 cells beyond the level of origin of the ultra-nodal on the front 
wings, 4-7 on the hind. Pterostigma of the front wings surmounting 24 (or 13, if the Zapote female 
belongs here) to 34 cells, its costal edge measuring 11-15 mm. long. Postcubitals on the front wings 
21-23 gf, 21-26 @; on the hind wings 18-21 g, 19-22 9. Abdomen, ¢ 37°5, 9 30-34; hind wing, 
3 9, 24-28 mm. 
Hab. Muxico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith, Schumann: 3 6,2 9); Guatz- 
MALAI, Zapote (Champion: 1 2); Honpuras ?. 
The Atoyac individuals were taken in May. 
4. Palemnema nathalia, (Tab. V. fig. 41.) 
Palemnema nathalia, Selys, Mem. Couron. Acad. Belg. xxxviil. p. 147 (1886) ’. 
Superior sector of the triangle ending 1-3 cells beyond the level of origin of the ultra-nodal sector on the front 
wings, 5-6 on the hind. Pterostigma on the front wings surmounting 13-2 cells, its costal edge 
measuring 1 mm. long; postcubitals on the front wings 18-21, on the hind 17-19, in both sexes. 
Abdomen, ¢ 34-365, 9 31; hind wing, ¢ 9, 23-24 mm. Both sexes have a black line on the second 
lateral thoracic suture.
