360 GUNDLACH's work on the ODONATA of CUBA 



This species is discussed in detail later in this paper (postea, 

 page 386). 



Dr. Ramsden's note on the types of this species in the Instituto 

 at Havana is : 



''In collection N I^ Gynacantha creagris (1 example in good 

 condition). Id. id. id. 9 (1 example in good condition). In MS. 

 catalogue: Gynacantha creagris Hagen, Localidad: Cardenas. 

 (Catalogue nor label say ereagris as in your letter.)" 



Dr. Ramsden's last remark calls attention to a question of the 

 spelling of the specific name which may require a decision b}' the 

 International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. As 

 indicated by the verbatim reprint given alcove from Gundlach's 

 text, Gundlach twice spells the name ereagris. In the " Indice de 

 los nombres cientificos/' p. ii, he spells it creagris, as he does in his 

 own label quoted by Dr. Ramsden. Gundlach's ''Fe de erratas," 

 pp. iv-v, although correcting a number of errors in the text relat- 

 ing to the Odonata, makes no mention of ereagris. A Greek word 

 "creagris," a small flesh hook, exists, but I have found no "erea- 

 gris." The question, of course, is a technical one of interpretation 

 of the code of nomenclature. 



Tribu Libellulina.

Genero TETRAGONEURIA Selys 



Tetragoneuria balteata. (...) P. 2-14. Deo. 1.5, 18S8. Macrodiplax 

 balteata (Hagen). 



No he observado esta especie. Hagen dice en los Proceedings [Bost. Soc. Nat. 

 Hist., XI, p. 291, 1867] que ha visto solamente un macho (cubano.) Es, pues, 

 una especie dudosa como habitante de Cuba. 



Hagen en su Synopsis [1861] da hi descripcion. [A translation into Spanish 

 then follows.] 



Dr. F. Ris, the latest writer on this species, refers it to the 

 genus Macrodiplax, subfamily Libellulinae.'*^
