304 Mr. Kenneth J. Morton on Odonata 
which it inhabits, S. iméans from Amurland being another 
race. 
S. striolatum, Charp.—Quetta, July; Kashmir, 5000- 
6000 ft., May. Differing little from Central European 
specimens ; probably from its utmost south-eastern limit. 
S. commixtum, Selys.—Deesa, July, 1 ?. This takes the 
place of SS. stviolatwm in the warmer parts of India. 
Trithemis pallidinervis, Kirby. — Deesa, October. A 
rather common species in Ceylon, India, etc. Described 
by Kirby as a Diplax (Sympetrum). 
T. festiva, Rambur.—Quetta, June. A small form of 
this wide-ranging species. 
Crocothemis servilia, Drury.—Dr. Ris is disposed, chiefly 
as a matter of convenience, to reserve this name for the 
Eastern forms of this insect, 7.e. those from tropical India, 
Ceylon, South China and the Archipelago (and even those 
from Japan which are rather different), which have the 
wings somewhat longer and narrower and tipped with 
brown. In (. erythrea from Africa, Madagascar, Southern 
Europe to Asia and Kashmir, the wings are relatively 
shorter and broader and not tipped with brown. In 
Northern India intermediates occur. Specimens from 
Deesa, January, February, June, July and October, are to 
be referred to the Eastern type, while a f from Quetta, 
June, is Western. A somewhat teneral specimen from 
Kashmir, 5000-6000 ft., May. 
Libellula quadrimaculata, Lin.—Kashmir, 8000-9000 ft., 
June. Already recorded from Kashmir. In these speci- 
mens the nodal spots are small, and, as Dr. Calvert has 
pointed out in connection with 44 taken in Kashmir by 
Dr. Abbott, the black of the basal spot on the hind-wings 
does not extend into the triangle. 
Orthetrwm sabina, Drury—Deesa, February, June, July 
and October. Another wide-ranging species. Examples 
from India are as a rule small. 
O. chrysostigma, Burm. —Lahij, May, 3 ¢%. A difficult 
species running into geographical forms. Ris says these 
specimens are intermediate between Kast African specimens 
and the following :— 
O. chrysostigma, race luzonicum, Brauer.—Deesa, October. 
Brauer’s types are from the Philippines. 
O. brunneum, Fonse—Quetta, May; Kashmir, 5000- 
6000 ft., May. Hardly different from Swiss and South 
European specimens.
