Tramea darwini *, based on a female with a much reduced basal wing-marking, has 
been shown by Mr. Currie ® to vary greatly in this respect. His material is before me 
and I cannot separate it from some of the examples from Ecuador, while the Haytian 
female captured by W. Cabot has the basal brown spot of the hind Wings reaching no 
farther backward than 1 mm. beyond the apex of the membranule.

If it were not for the absence of the yellow pleural stripes, I would refer these 
specimens to cophysa. Ihave pointed out® the differences from the type of longicauda, 
but I do not care to inflict another specific name on this genus. 
3. Tramea insularis.

The hyaline spot’ on the anal margin of the hind wings is absent in the male from Puerto Barrios and in 
some of those from Samana. The females from the latter locality have the basal brown marking of the 
hind wings varying from a band 4 mm. wide reaching the hind margin to one 1 mm. wide and stopping 
3 mm. short of the hind margin, the width of the hyaline area along the anal margin likewise varying, 
Reduced basal brown markings are also to be seen in the females from Key West and Lucea.
