NOTES OX UUGXATA FROM NEWFOUNDLAND, COLLECTED IN 1874 



BY MR. JOHN MILNE. 



13Y THE BARON E. DE SELYS-LONGCUAMPS. 

 LiBELLULINA. 



Leucorrhinia hudsonica, Selys (Rev. cles Odonates, p. 53), 1 ^ 

 from White Bay, similar to my type. 



COBDULIIIfA. 



Cordulia Shurtleffi, Scudder (Selys, Syn. Cord., p. 31), 1 ? . 



EpitTieca cingulata, Selys (Syu. Cord., p. 68, ? ), 2 (5^, 3 ? , from 

 White Bay and Boiiavista Bay. The following is a description of the 

 cj , which sex was previously unknown to me : — 



Length of abdomen, 40 mm. ; of posterior wing, 37 mm. 



Wings scarcely tinted ; the anal border of the posterior slightly ochraceous in 

 the anal triangle next the merabramde, this latter black, white at the base ; neuration 

 black (the costa slightly brown exteriorly up to the nodus) ; pterostigma brown, 

 placed between two thickened black nervules (1 mm. long) ; discoidal triangles with 

 transverse nervules in all the wings (or aberrantly free in one), followed by two to 

 three cellules, and afterwards by two rows of post-trigonal cellules ; 8 — 9 ante-cubital 

 nervules, 6 — 7 post-cubital, in the anterior wings. Ilead and thorax bright bronzy- 

 brown ; lower lip yellow, the upper shining blackish ; rhinarium yellowish ; occiput, 

 vertex and front bronzy-blackish, the latter yellowish at the sides. Front of the 

 thorax somewhat coppery-green {ivithoiit pale bands). Abdomen bronzy-blackish, 

 the sides of segments 1—3 pale bi'own ; terminal sutiu'e of segments 2 — 9 forming 

 a yellowish circle. Legs black ; the anterior and intermediate femora reddish-brown ; 

 the posterior femora not swollen. Anal appendages black. The superior equalHng 

 the 9th and 10th segments (1 mm. long), distant and acuminate at the base, almost 

 straiglit and cylindrical in their first third, abruptly elbowed and turned downward, 

 one against the other, at a slightly obtuse angle in their last third, the slender points 

 crossed and curved upivard ; they arc pubescent, and have, at their base exteriorly, 

 a small acute tooth, and the elbow is thickened exteriorly, forming a tubercle {hut 

 not a tooth). Inferior appendage one-third shorter; viewed laterally slightly curved 

 upward ; the apex nearly as broad as tlie base, truncate, and even forked, in con- 

 sequence of the two external angles being slightly prolonged and curved upward. 



N.B. — The form of the appendages proves that this species is allied 

 to tenehrosa. It is separated from it especially by the yellow circle at 

 the abdominal sutures, by the very long pterostigma, the absence of 

 pale bands on the sides of the thorax, the femora not swollen, and, 

 finally, by the inferior appendages ])eing furcate at the apex. It much 

 resembles albicincta, but in the latter the inferior appendage of the 

 (J is triangular, and the vulvar scale of the ? strongly bilobate.
