THE IMMATURE STATE OF THE ODOXATA. 17 



7. ANAX AMAZILI. 



Burm. Hdb. II. p. 841. 



Nyinplia, fall-grown, male and female, dry ; one in alcohol. Length, 53 

 to 58 mm.; breadth, 10 mm. Localit}-, Jamaica, Mr. H. J. Hubbard; Central 

 America. 



Similar to A. Jmiius, but considerably longer, though not broader ; the 

 mask four times longer than broad at the base (little more than three times 

 longer in A. Junius) ; palpus cut straight at tip, with strong hook ; proc- 

 esses above the first legs of equal size and length, enclosing a very obtuse 

 angle; lateral appendages sharply pointed (in A. Junius dilated internally to 

 the abruptly pointed tip) ; basal projection of the middle appendage of the 

 male narrowed on tip and notched, about one third as long as the lateral 

 appendages (broad on tip and emarginated, half as long as the lateral ap- 

 pendages in A. Junius). 



A. Amazili is known from Cuba and Barbados, not yet from Jamaica j but 

 there is no other species of Anax known from the Antilles. 



8. ANAX SPECIES. 



Nymphie, full-grown and young, male and female in alcohol. Length, 20 

 to 42 mm. ; breadth, 9 mm. Locality, Holy tank at Ibanca, East Lidia, 

 Rev. M. Carleton. 



Similar to A. Junius. Processes more blunt ; posterior smaller, enclosing 

 an obtuse angle. Mask longer, the front margin less promineiit, more 

 rounded. Palpus narrowed at tip, upper angle rounded, lower one produced 

 in a strong oblique end hook, below finely denticulated. Appendages, as in 

 A. Juniu.s, abruptly pointed, moi'e so at tlie male ; projection of male slightly 

 notched at tip. 



The determination of the species is not possible. One, A. immaculifrons, 

 was received by Rev. M. Carleton, though not from the same locality. A. 

 Bacchus, perhaps identical with A. Parthenope, lives in the sub-Himalaya ; 

 and A. perplexus Hagen, from Kooloo Valley, Himalaya, was received by 

 Rev. M. Carleton ; both sexes. Perhaps the nympha) belong to the latter 

 undescribed species.
