ON A SMALL COLLECTION OF DKAGONFLIES 

 FROM MACEDONIA. 



By Herbert Campion. 



While engaged in the study of the mosquito-fauna of 

 Macedonia during the second half of 1917, Lieut. Jas. Waters- 

 ton, R.A.M.C., found opportunities for collecting a few Dragon- 

 flies for transmission to the Imj^erial Bureau of Entomology. 

 Of these a list is now given, and mention may be made of an 

 additional species received from Private W. K. Amyot, viz., 

 Anax parthenope, Selys, S , from Mikra. It may be of in- 

 terest to record, also, a ? of J-Cschna mixta, Latr., taken by 

 Mr. Waterston at Marseilles on July 6th. All the Macedonian 

 localities referred to in the list are within a radius of fifty miles 

 from Salonica.

 This species is subject to considerable variation, even in 

 its most important characters, and sometimes resembles 

 0. cm-iilescens, Fabr., so closely as to make discrimina- 

 tion from that species a matter of much difficulty. While 

 the genitalia of the second segment may still be taken as 

 the best guide to identification, the extent to which those 

 appendages are found to vary may be gathered from the 

 paper by M. Barteneff on the Odonata of Montenegro, in
