SYMPETRUM MERIDIONALE, Sstys, AND OTHER 
ODONATA. 
By C. W. Bracgsen, B.A., F.E.S. 
A Few cases of insects formerly belonging to the veteran 
entomologist, Mr. G. C. Bignell, of Saltash, near Plymouth, 
came into my possession after his death. Among them was a 
store-box of Neuroptera (sensu lato), collected by the Rev. T. A. 
Marshall, of Botus-Fleming, Cornwall, who died in 1903. On 
going through this recently I found a Sympetrum labelled vulga- 
tum, Swanage, no date. As there were no striolatwm in the box, 
I concluded that Marshall either intended it for the latter species, 
using the older name, or that he had really taken vulgatum, a 
rare occurrence. I sent the insect to Mr. W. J. Lucas, who is 
of opinion that it is neither vulgatum nor striolatum but 
meridionale. If so, the specimen is of considerable interest, 
since Mr. Lucas, in his ‘ British Dragonflies,’ says: ‘“‘ The claim 
of this insect to a position on the British list rests on two 
females of old date.’’ Most of Marshall’s specimens were 
Corsican, but there were several others from Swanage, including 
some fine Orthetrum cancellatum. It may be worth mentioning 
that one of the Corsican O. ce@rulescens has the left anterior 
wing much abbreviated. The right wing is 28 mm. long, the 
left only 20 mm., the pterostigma being about the same distance 
from the body on each side.
