May, 1910.] A New Species of Celithemis. 155 



monomelaena male, one wing 24, two 25, one 26, one 27; 



average 25.4. 

 female, one wing 21, one 2.5, two 24, one 25, 

 two 26; average 24.14. 



Of 8 wings of fasciata and 16 wings of monomelaena examined 

 all have the last antenodal of the front wing continuous, except- 

 ing one wing of each species. All have the triangle of the hind 

 wing free excepting a single wing of fasciata, where it is once 

 crossed. 



Celithemis monomelaena n. sp. ''--w 



Celithemis fasciata, Hine, in The Odonata of Ohio, D. S. 

 Kellicott, O. S. U., Univ. Bull. Series 4, No. 5, p. 104, describes 

 the species and records its capture in Summit County, Ohio, at 

 Silver and Summit Lakes, in June and July, June 23rd being the 

 earliest record. Hine, Ent. News, January, 1899, p. 1, des- 

 cribes the female, with ligures of wing markings of both sexes, and 

 notes habits and records of captures. Williamson, Report 

 State Geologist, Indiana, 1899, p. 320, describes the species 

 and records it from the following Indiana localities: Goose 

 Lake, Kosciusko County, Round and Shriner Lakes, Whitley 

 County, and Frantz Fishpond, Wells County. 



The above literature, with the notes given above and the 

 plates which accompany this paper, sufficiently describes this 

 species. The following references under fasciata should be 

 placed under nionom.elaena, I believe. 



1. Hagen, Psyche, 1890, p. 383, records fasciata from 

 Georgia, Florida and Canada. The Canadian specimen is prob- 

 ably monomelaena, the other two fasciata. 



2. Kellicott, Proc. Ohio Acad. Sci., 1896, p. 28, records the 

 capture of fasciata by Dury at Cincinnati and Williamson in 

 Indiana. 



3. Kellicott, The Agr. Student, Columbus, Ohio, Nov., 

 1897, p. 45, repeats the data in 2.

 Kent, Ohio, in the latter half of June. 



8. In Ent. News, 1902, p. 298, Mr. E. Daecke's capture of 

 fasciata at Lucaston, New Jersey, is recorded.
