CORDULEGASTERINAE. 



Cordulegaster godmani McLachlan. Furulha, forest, July 10,

AESHNINAE. 



Anax amazili ( Burmeister). Cayuga, June 2, stormy night, at 

 light, 1 9; August 24, at light, 1 9. 



In the key to the species of Ana.r in the Biologia volume, 

 page 176, I stated for ainazili "Superior frontal marking a 

 triangular black spot, no dark ring," by way of contrast with 

 j mi ins and walsinghami. In well-colored individuals there is 

 on each side, right and left, of the triangular black spot and 

 separated from it by a yellow line, a triangular blue spot, as 

 Hagen (1861, 1867), Brauer (1866) and Martin (1908) have 

 stated. Occasionally these two blue spots are not visible, as 

 in a Costa Rican female before me ; in other cases, as in the 

 Cayuga female of June 2, the blue has become a dark brown, 

 although the two spots are not united anteriorly and hence 

 form no ring as in juniits and walsinghami. Still my state- 

 ment of 1905, quoted above, is incomplete and hence a little 

 confusing. It may be bettered by inserting after "a triangular 

 black spot:" "usually with a separate triangular blue (some- 

 times brown) spot to right and left." 



The capture of these two females at light is interesting.
