In addition to the differences in coloration and appendages 

 clearly stated by de Selys as distinguishing this species from 

 the typical erythromma, there are differences of venation which 

 maj^ be indicated by tabular comparison: 



CHARACTER 



Anterior side of 

 quadrangle 



ERYTHROMMA 



the shorter (f. w.j or equal 

 (h. w.) to the inner 

 side 



Anal vein separating much before the verti- 



from the hind margin 



Vein M4 beginning to 

 be angulate (f. wing) 



Areoles 



CU2 



behind vein 



cal cubitoanal cross 

 vein 



opposite the origin of 

 vem M2 



wider than long 



CHROMAGRIOK 



2(f.w.) to 21/2 (h.w.) times 

 the length of the in- 

 ner (proximal) side 



just before or opposite 

 the obliquely placed 

 cubitoanal cross vein 



4^5 cells beyond the 

 level of the origin of 

 vein M2, and near 

 the level of the 

 stigma 



longer (in the axis of 

 the wing) than wid&

My first morning at Saranac Inn (June 14, 1900) I went out 

 before breakfast along the southwest side of the outlet of Little 

 Clear pond, and found in a little trashy bay near the pond. 

 Tetragoneuria spinigera, Ladona julia, 

 Leucorhinia glacialis and this species all transform- 

 ing together. Later, I found nymphs ofOordulia shurt- 

 1 e f f i in the same shallows. Chromagrion transformed per- 

 haps a little farther out from shore than any of the others^ 

 clambering up the projecting twigs of small trees that had 

 been felled in the edge of the pond outlet, and transforming a 

 few inches above the surface of the water.
