which rarely anastomose ; in the type of osborni the pronotum 

 is opaque, the wrinkles about twenty-eight, much finer and. 

 more indistinct than in obtiisa, and irregular freely anasto- 

 mosing. The body is narrower than in osborni and the propor- 

 tions of the clavus are different. The ocelli in obtnsa are 

 larger and nearer the front edge of vertex. Very light-col- 

 ored specimens of obtusa occur, but these differ from osborni 

 in the same manner. Mr. Ball's "Subspecies III' will be- 

 come subspecies testacea (Fh.) 



Clastoptera bimaculata n. sp. 9 Length 3 mm. Of the size 

 and with the ground color of a small pale C. xanthoccphala. 

 Pronotum shining, with numerous fine, veiy faint wrinkles, 

 which are straight and anastomose but little. Scutel coarsely 

 scabrous. Clavus finely,. evenly punctured. Inner discoidal, 

 cell much larger than outer. Anterior half of pronotum and 

 a large spot extending across middle of clavus and encroaching 

 on corium, light yellow. Elytral callosities black. Face with 

 a dark transverse shading across middle and about six dark 

 arcs on either side of front above. Mesosternum black ; all 

 else below, excepting black tibial spines and two 3'ellow annuli 

 on fore tibae, same as ground color above. 



Described from a single female taken near Vera Cruz, Mexico, 

 by Rev. H. Th. Heyde. This distinctly marked little form pre- 

 sents structural characters which will not admit it to any of our 

 northern species. It may be a near relative of Uhler's Cuban 

 stolida. 



Calopteryx angustipennis Selys. (note bottom p. 199, ENT. NEWS, 

 Sept., 1899, P. P. Calvert). Two males of this species were sent to Mr. 

 VV. F. Kirby, British Museum (Natural History). Mr. Kirby says "We 

 have only a single specimen, with a broken abdomen, and the size is just 

 about the same as your two specimens (Selys, Syn. Calop., gives the ab- 

 domen of this specimen as " environ 55 mm." Hagen, Psyche, V, p. 244, 

 gives 56 mm. Ohio and Pennsylvania specimens measure about 46 mm.). 

 It is of a uniform green, whereas your specimens are much bronzed, 

 especially on the vertex and prothorax. Otherwise I see no important 

 differences. I thought I might have found some in the neuration, but 

 there seems nothing tangible, especially as the neuration of your two 

 specimens varies." A female (abdomen not perfect) was sent to Mr. 

 Henshaw, Museum Comparative Zoology. Mr. Henshaw writes: "I 

 have compared your 9 Calopteryx angustipennis with the two in the 

 Hagen collection without finding any specific differences. In breadth of 

 wing your specimen is intermediate between the Berlin specimen and the 

 one from Bee Spring, Ky." E. B. WILLIAMSON.
