I have compared one male from Havana, taken by Baker, with 

 Gundlach's description of the male, with which it agrees. His 

 description of the female, however, is different from any female 

 that I know, so that it seems advisable to reproduce it here. 



9. Boca, labio superior y frente anaranjados; en la parte posterior del 

 labio se ve una linea transversal negra; vertice negro-olivado-metdlico; este 

 color pasa angostamente detras de los ojos; el cogote tiene un color anaranjado 

 vivo, el cuello es negro-olivado lustroso, con el borde posterior anaranjado. 

 Protorax negro-olivado-metalico, con los bordes laterales anaranjados; meso- 

 t6rax anaranjado con una faja ancha negro-olivado-metalica encima, y iina 

 llnea muy fina en los lados. Metatorax amarillo claro con las suturas negras. 

 Abdomen anaranjado con los bordes de los segmentos en su union negros; el 

 primer segmento tiene por encima un color negro-olivado-metalico que ocupa 

 las tres cuartas partes posteriores, y en los tres siguientes ocupa toda, pero 

 dejando en el segundo segmento el borde lateral anaranjado. . El ultimo seg- 

 mento tiene en su primera parte dos manchitas negro-olivadas y en los demas 

 es barmejo. Pies amarillo palidos con espinas negras. La espina del segmento 

 octavo falta. Alas cristalinas con el pterostigma amarillento y regular. 



It will be noticed that Gundlach considers Trichocnemis minuta 

 Selys to be the female of this species, although de Selys himself, 

 in his Synopsis of the legion Agrion,-'- referred T. minuta to Enal- 

 lagmaf aduncum Hagen. Gundlach knew this work of de Selys, 

 at least he quotes it frequently. Gundlach's description of the 

 female, here reproduced, is not that of the true female of Argial- 

 lagma minutum, as the species is now known. 



The male and female of Agrion hastatum, entire, the wings of 

 both sexes on a larger scale, and the base of a wing are shown in 

 the Atlas of Ramon de la Sagra's Cuba.-^ These figures are not 

 quoted by Gundlach or by any other author, as far as I know 



Agrion (Ceratura) capreolus. (lOG.) P. 233. Nov. 15, 18S,S. Ceratura 

 capreola (Hagen). 

 Lo he colectado en toda la Isla y ademas vive en Puorto-Rico. 



Gundlach describes the male and the black female only. I 

 have compared one male from Havana, taken by Baker, one 

 male from Vera Cruz, Mexico, one black female from Los
