Macrothemis inacuta (p. 291). 
To the localities given, add:—Costa Rica, Pozo Azul de Pirris (Underwood, 
M.C.Z.: 4 8). 
MIATHYRIA (p. 298). 
Miathyria marcella (p. 294). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Ocotlan in Jalisco (Calvert, coll. P. P. C.: 
22). 
Very abundant at this locality over a swamp, August 29, 1906, but not easily taken. 
PANTALA (p. 307). 
Pantala flavescens (p. 307). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Guzman (Calvert observ.) in Chihuahua, San 
Pedro [1 2] and Saltillo [1 ¢ ] in Coahuila, Ocotlan [1 2] (coll. P. P. C.) and San 
Marcos (Goldsmith, M. C. Z.: 2 3) in Jalisco, Toluca (Calvert observ.) ; Costa Rica, 
Pozo Azul de Pirris (Underwood, M. C. Z.: 1 ¢). 
At Guzman, August 7, 1906, a female was observed ovipositing, dipping her abdomen 
only a few times at each place, then flying to another; no male was near. At Saltillo, 
Sept. 22, in the afternoon, P. flavescens and P. hymenea were flying and alighting in 
the same field near the railroad tracks and not far from the “ Panteon”: when flushed 
P. flavescens would fly around very swiftly, with frequent changes of direction, 
gradually decreasing the area of flight and encircling a tuft or clump of grasses or low 
plants, upon one of which it would eventually settle; alighting upon a grass- or plant- 
stem, it would remain upon it only an instant, again take wing, fly around in an 
approximate circle for a few instants and again alight on or near the same stem ; this 
performance was sometimes repeated several times, while I stood still, until eventually 
the insect remained motionless, as if at last satisfied with its situation (gf. note on 
P. hymenea). | 
Pantala hymenza (p. 309). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Saltillo in Coahuila (Calvert, coll. P,P. .: 
13,12). 
This species, when flushed in the field at Saltillo above-mentioned, would finally 
alight on poplar trees, ten to fifteen feet (3-0 metres) high, planted at regular intervals 
through the field, thus in contrast to the lower stations assumed by P. flavescens,
