DATA ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF DRAGONFLIES 

 (ODONATA)-I. 



By PHILIP P. CALVERT, Philadelphia. 



During the past seven years I have received dragonflies from 

 various localities and entomologists. Since these collections in 

 many instances add to our knowledge of the distribution of spe- 

 cies beyond that hitherto published, I have determined to print 

 lists of these collections, except in those cases in which I know the 

 collectors intend doing so under their own names. An asterisk 

 (*) denotes that the species, before whose name it is placed, has 

 not hitherto been recorded from that State, although in some 

 such instances I have already cited the locality in my Catalogue 

 of Philadelphia Odonata (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xx, pp. 227-266, 



1893)- 



MAINE. 



Lists of Odonata from different localities have been published 

 in the NEWS by Miss Wadsworth (vol. i, pp. 36, 55; vol ii, p. 

 n; vol. iii, p. 8; vol. v, p. 732), Prof. Harvey (vol. ii, pp. 50, 

 73; vol. iii, pp. 91, 116) and Mr. Bullock (vol. ii, p. 93). 



In 1891, Mr. Bullock also gathered a few specimens at Mt. 

 Desert Island, as follows: 



Calopteryx maculata Beauv. July i3th. 

 ^.-Irgia violacea Hagen. July i3th. 



Enallagma hageni Walsh. Juty i3th, very numerous. 



Goinphus exilis Selys. July i3th. 



Leucorhinia frigida Hagen. One male, July 10; "eyes chestnut- 

 brown above, greenish in centre, greenish yellow below; appar- 

 ently just emerged." 



A collection made by Mr. J. P. Moore, at York Harbor in 

 1890, comprised the following species: 



Lestes unguiculata Hagen. August 12, 15. 

 ** Nehaleiutia Irene Hag. August 15. 

 - Enallagnia civile Hag. July 30, Aug. 15. 



Ischnura verticalis Say. July ag-Aug. 14. 



Diplax rubicundula Say. Aug. 12, 15. 



D. obtrusa Hag. Aug. 15. 



D. vicina Hag. Aug. 12. 



D. costifera Uhler. Aug. i (one teneral tf).
