13). 
Taken in April (Uruapan) and September (Amula). 
From what has been said above, it is evident that some of the Cuban and the Uruachic 
males represent the “ mixed-fronted” condition and are consequently intermediate 
between a and al. 
b’. The males appear to pass through the same colour-changes as described above for a’; a Guadalajara g 
has the frons luteous, violaceous above, nasus olivaceous, labrum reddish-brown, labium luteous, thoracic 
dorsum reddish-brown, sides obscure greenish, abdomen dark reddish-brown. A male from Jojutla with 
nearly similar colours shows both red and metallic-blue on the frons. Other males from these and other 
localities have the face black, frons metallic-blue, abdomen pruinose. Antecubitals, hind wing 7-9; 
post-triangular rows, front wing 3 or 2, 3, or 3, 2, 3, symmetrically or asymmetrically.

* A summary of Charles Wright’s explorations in Cuba has recently been published by Prof. L. M. 
Underwood (Bull. Torrey Botan. Club, xxxii. pp. 291-300: June, 1905). Unfortunately the labels on his 
Odonata are merely “Cuba. Ch. Wright,” with no further clue to exact localities.
