Notes on Indiana Dragonflies. 101 
61. Gomphus spicatus Hagen. See under 55. Gomphus evrilis. 
66a. Gomphus viridifrons’ Hine. A single male was taken June 17, 1917, 
about three miles east of Ontario and two and one-half miles west of Mongo, 
Lagrange Co. The day was cold and windy and the dragonfly was resting 
on the low, broad leaf of-an aster at the edge of a woods about a quarter of 
a mile south of Pidgeon River. The species has been taken in Ohio and 
Pennsylvania; this is the first Indiana record. 
69. Dromogomphus spoliatus Hagen. At a bayou about two miles west 
of Merom, Sullivan Co., July 28, 1918. This species has not been seen along 
the Wabash near Bluffton since 1917 when it was observed but in smaller 
numbers than in former years. It frequents more sluggish streams with 
mud bottoms, and the Wabash has apparently become a stream more suit- 
able for it than for D. spinosus which prefers clear, rapid water, clean 
bottomed streams. D. spinosus formerly occurred on the Wabash but I 
have not seen it there now for many years. What has caused the more 
recent ebb in D. spoliatus I do not know. <A few years may see it back 
again in undiminished numbers; spinosus almost certainly will never 
return. 
70. Boyeria vinosa Say. Shriner Lake, Whitley Co., Sept. 16, 1917; 
small stream near Merriam, Noble Co., Sept. 23, 1917. 
7. Basiaeschna janata Say. Border of tamarack swamp along Pidgeon 
River, one mile east of Mongo, Lagrange Co., June 17, 1917. 
72. Anax junius Drury. On April 14, 1917, a male was dashed to the 
street in Bluffton by a heavy rain; on April 20, 1917, a male was taken in a 
store room in Bluffton, and on the same date a female Hpiaeschna heros 
was taken in a nearby store. In April, 1919, a female of Anaxr junius was 
taken in a house in Bluffton on the third of the month, and on the fifth a 
male and a female were taken in two other houses: on the fifth, eighth and 
ninth, specimens were hawking in my home yard. On August 23, 1919, and 
at least a few evenings before and after that date junius was flying in 
great numbers from 6 to 7 p. m. standard time (7 to 8 p. m. fast time), 
along a road between woods and a corn field and over adjacent fields in low 
creek bottom one and a half miles east and one and a fourth miles north of 
Bluffton. They were feeding voraciously and the flight was very erratic, 
suggesting Gynacanthas but more erratic than the larger species of Gyna- 
eantha. Posey Co., April 21, 1919 (Chas. C. Deam). 
75. Aeshna constricta Say. Near Wolf Lake, Noble Co., Sept. 23, 1917; 
backwater of Webster Lake, Kosciusko Co., August 31, 1919. 
76. Aeshna mutata Hagen. Vankimon Swamp near Bluffton, June 13, 
1920, a single male seen and captured. This is the first appearance of 
mutata at this swamp since 1914. 
78. Aeshna umbrosa Walker. Creek at Shriner Lake. Whitley Co., Sept. 
16, 1917; creek at Indian Village, Kosciusko Co., Sept. 1, 1919; creek and 
swamp five miles east of Lagrange, Lagrange Co., October 10, 1920. 
79. Aeshna verticalis Hagen. Creek at Indian Village, Kosciusko Co., 
Sept. 1, 1919. 
80. Nasiaeschna pentacantha Rambur. This rare species was taken 
along the Aboite River, Devil's Hollow, Allen Co... July 6 and 13, 1919. 
$1. Hpiaeschna heros Fabricius. A male was taken in a downtown office
