wide; scape extremely long, about ten times as long as wide, 

 as long as the next four joints combined; pedicel only twice as 

 long as wide; funicle joints very slender, giving off long hairs, 

 the hairs being several times as long as the width of the joints ; 

 the three small joints between the apical funicle joints without 

 hairs; first funicle joint one-half longer than the pedicel; sec- 

 ond one-half longer than the first; third shorter than the 

 second, as long as the first; fourth extremely long, five times 

 as long as the third, as long as the scape, but much narrower, 

 about twenty times as long as wide; fifth about three-fifths as 

 long as the fourth; sixth three-fourths as long as the fifth; 

 seventh almost as long as the sixth ; eighth longer, as long as 

 the fifth. The antennae are remarkable on account of the 

 small joints between the apical four funicle joints.

Sympetrum obtrusum and costiferum (Odonata) in Maine. 



In the Catalogue and Bibliography of the Odonata of Maine (The 

 Univ. of Maine Studies, No. 4, August, 1902), obtrusum is recorded 

 from York Harbor and Fryeburg. The capture establishing the Frye- 

 burg locality is recorded on p. 276, ENT. NEWS, Nov., 1901, "a single 

 specimen taken at Fryeburg, Me., August 10, 1899 (Harvey)." In the 

 Harvey collection is a male costiferum, labeled, in Harvey's hand, 

 "Sympetrum obtrusa, Fryeburg, Me., Aug. 14, 1899, F. L. Harvey." 

 This is doubtless the specimen, erroneously determined as obtrusum. 

 upon which the Fryeburg record is based. Ris, Coll. Selys, Libellulinen, 

 p. 686, records as in his collection i $ , 2 $ obtrusum, Manchester, 

 Maine, Miss Wadsworth, collector. E. B. WILLIAMSON.
