IsCHNUEA Graellsii, Rbr. {maroccana, Kolbe). — Apparently 

 generally distributed in May, June and July. About 25 examples. 



N.B. — After a comparison of specimens from Portugal, Marocco and Algeria, I 

 have arrived at the conclusion tliat A. maroccana, Kolbe, is not distinct. I alluded 

 to this subject in 1889 {of. Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv, p. 349) when writing on some 

 Odonata from Marocco, and I then called attention to a valuable observation by 

 Kolbe on the structure of the dorsum of the 2nd abdominal segment. I find it 

 occurs in both sexes, and to a smaller extent also in /. Oenei, but not in elegans or 

 seneffalensis. 



Enallagma ctathigerum, Charp. — Constantine, May 28th, 

 1895, one (^ . 



Ageion Lindenii, Selys. — Le Tarf, Lac des Oiseaux, Oued Bou 

 Sba, and other places in the district, in June and July, seven ^ . 



Ptrehosoma tekellum, Vill. — Ain Kriar and Mines of Kef 

 Oum Teboul in June and July. The only ? is of the var. in which 

 segments 1. 2, 3 (except at apex), 8, 9 and lU of the abdomen are red, 

 and all the others black, above. 



Lestes vieidis, v. d. L. — Constantine, October 14th and No- 

 vember 6th, 1894, two S ■ 



Lestes vieens, Charp. — Medea, July 5th, 1893 ; Constantine, 

 October 11th, 1891; Bone, June, 1896; Lac des Oiseaux, June 15th. 

 1896 ; Le Tarf, June 17th, 1896 ; apparently common. 



The only example from Constantine is a <? in which the green of the body is 

 replaced by bronzy-black (almost as in Sympycna), with a cupreous tinge on the 

 broad infra-humeral area ; otherwise normal. 



Lestes baebaea, F. — Medea, July 5th, 1893 ; Constantine, May 

 25th, 1895 ; Lac des Oiseaux, June 15th, 1896 ; Le Tarf, June 17th, 

 1896. 



Sympycna fusca, v. d. L. — Bone, Constantine and Biskra, in 

 January, February, June and October. Common. 

 Lewisham, London : April, 1897. 



P.S. — An excursion to Ain Drahan in Tunisie on July 21st, L896, 

 produced the following, viz., Orthetrum Hamburii, 0. nitidinerve, Ca- 

 lopteryx hcdmorrlioidalis, Agrion Lindenii and Lestes virens, one example 

 of each. 



Chrysopa flava, 'Scop., in South Australia. — In a small collection of Neuroptera 

 from Adelaide, sent to me for determination, I find an undoubted <? of this common 

 British species, which seems to have established itself there, and will no doubt 

 prove beneficial. Probably it was introduced (in the pupa stage ?) with plants from 

 England or some other part of Eui'ope. But Australia has many native species of 

 ChrysopidcB, whereas they are unaccountably absent in New Zealand. — R. McLach- 

 lAN, Lewisham, London : May \st, 1897.
