For this species I can only add a new locality to the records of 

 its occurrence; I have taken it at Ithaca. Its nymph is unknown.

This widely distributed species I have collected at two unre- 

 corded localities in New York State, Saranac Inn and Ithaca. 

 I have bred it several times in June at my home in Lake Forest 

 111., where it is abundant. The metallic green of the mature 

 males is very brilliant.

This species flies through most of the summer at Saranac 

 Inn, and is a common midsummer species at Ithaca. It is a 

 characteristic denizen of shallow woodland pools. In such a 

 pool near Glen Ellyn 111., I once saw dozens of nymphs in trans- 

 formation at a time on May 30, and I have bred the species 

 in many places. Notes on the oviposition of this species and the 

 last have already been given under the account of the genus.
