Drury, in 1775, described and figured this species as Libell[ula\ 

 americanus; III. Nat. Hist., I, p. 128, PI. XLIX, fig. 2, name in index. 

 This is preoccupied by Libellula americana of Linnaeus; Syst. Nat., ed. 

 X, p. 545, (1758) . The next name to apply to Drury's L. americanus is 

 Gryllus serialis of Thunberg; Mem. Acad. Imp. Sci. St. Petersbourg, 

 V, p. 241, (1815); described from St. Bartholomew, British West 

 Indies, which name consequently must be used for this species. 



The present series shows considerable variation in size and some 

 in color, but both features are individual in this material. The 

 three immature females from Macon are in different instars, the 

 most developed having just started the ecdysis passing into the 

 imagal condition. The species was also seen but not taken at 

 Orange, Virginia, July 21, 1913. 



This ubiquitous species occurred in a variety of habitats, more 

 generally, however, in pine woods. At no point visited by us was 

 it present in sufficient numbers to be an economic menace.
