A Few Captures Made at Miami, Florida. 

 BY MORGAN HEBARD. 



While in Miami, between January 28th and February 8th, I 

 did a great deal of collecting, and took a great number of 

 L,epidoptera. The following are some of the most interesting 

 captures I made : 2 Theda telca $ and 9 , i Thccla martialis, 

 i Thecla ads, 3 Eresia frisia, i Coleenis julia, 2 Catopsilia sta- 

 tira, 2 Anosia be re nice var. strigosa, i Epargyreus zestos and a 

 number of Ancea portia, Ennica tatila, Ti 'metes eleucha and 

 Ery rides amyntas. On the flowers at dusk I also captured 4 

 Dilophonota caicus, 2 Dilophonota edwardsi, 3 Dilophonota ob- 

 scura, 2 Dilophonota ello, 2 Pergesa thorates, 8 Cautethia grotei, 

 4 Pachylia ficus and many Enyo lugubris and Chtzrocampa tcrsa. 



On favorable evenings the collecting is splendid, but in my 

 whole stay there, there were hardly three favorable evenings, 

 and this I learn is about the average, for if there is the slight- 

 est drop in temperature, or if there is a breeze, these moths 

 can not be found. The most interesting among the Coleoptera 

 which I took was : i Lypsimena californica, hitherto only 

 known from California, and 8 Languria marginipcnnis, which 

 species was common there on flowers in the woods. 



A Hybrid Dragonfly of the Genus 

 Gomphus (Odonata. ) 

 BY E. B. WILLIAMSON. 



(Plate XII.) 



Among a number of Gomphi collected near Bluffton, Indiana, 

 June 8, 1902, by my father and myself, is a mal^ which in 

 general appearance more resembles sordidus than any other 

 species, though the appendages are more \\kegraslinellus. The 

 colors are duller and the color patterns less defined than in 

 graslinellus, but brighter and sharper than in the obscure and 

 variable sordidus. On the same da}', in the neighborhood 

 where this male was taken, Gomphus crassus, G.fraternns, G. 

 graslinellus, G. sordidus and G. c.vilis were on the wing. This 

 male was taken near a small gravel pit associated with G. gras 

 lincllus and G. soididus. About this gravel pit Gomphi are 

 rare as compared with the numbers to be found along the
