358 gundlach's work on the odonata of cuba 



Aeschna virens. (51.) P. 238. Nov. 15, 1888. Aeshna (Coryphae- 

 schna) virens (Ramb.). 

 Cogi esta especie en la proximidad de Cardenas y Mr. Scudder en la Isla de 

 Pinos. 



I have compared one male from Trinitad [sic] (ex coll. Selys), 

 one male and one female from Alta Mira, Mexico, and one female 

 from the Amazon (Bates, ex coll. Selys) with Gundlach's descrip- 

 tion, with which they agree, except that Gundlach says: "Labio 

 negro," while in our specimens the labriim is pale green with its 

 distal third to half black or red. In Bates' female the labimn is 

 yellowish or yellowish brown with the apex of the median lobe 

 reddish or brownish. 



Aeschna ingens. (46.) P. 239. Nov. 15, 1888. Aeshna (Coryphae- 

 schna) ingens (Ramb.). 



Colectado en la vencindad de Cardenas; el tipo era de la Florida. 



I have compared both sexes from Florida with Gmidlach's 

 description. He says "el triangulo detras de los ojos [ = occiput] 

 y el cogote [ =rear of the head] son negros," but in all the speci- 

 mens examined (three males, three females) the occiput is yellow 

 narrowly margined with blackish, and there is a large crescentic 

 pale greenish spot behind each eye. Otherwise the description 

 agrees. As to the remark on the type's being from Florida, 

 Rambur expressly says of his original specimen: "sans indica- 

 tion de patrie."
