444 Mr. H. Campion on Fabr'icius's Types of 



precedence requires tbe application to the species of the first 

 name written by Fabricius {siig inatizawi) . 



(2) LiheUida ocnIata,¥. c?,juv. Type. 

 [=:JS'eu7-othemis siigmatizans, F., (J.) 



Labels:—'' Libellula oculata Fab. Entom. p. 421, n. 6 " ; 

 square white ticket, " Austrab'a," printed ; round blue 

 ticket, ''f,." 



Diagnosis: — " L. flavescens, alls anticis apice, posticis 

 margine aqueis : stigmate niveo. Habitat in nova HoUandia. 

 Mas. Banh.anum."—F., Syst. Ent. p. 421, no. 6 (1775). 



Fabricius's additional words, "Proecedenti \_L. shgmatiznns~\ 

 nimis affinis, cujus forte mera varietas," are worthy of note. 



See also the remarks under (1) L. stigmatizans, above. 



(3) Libellula indica, F. ? . Tj'pe. 

 [=iRhyoihemis variegata, Linn.) 



Label :— " Libellula indica Fabr. Sp. Ins. No. 8." 

 Diagnosis: — " L. alis flavo fuscoque variis apice albis, 

 posticis macula baseos cyanea. Libellula A rria. Drury Ins. 

 2. tab. 46. fig. 1. Habitat in Coromandel. Mus. Dom. 

 Banks."— F., Spec. Ins. i. p. 521, no. 8 (1781). 



The most noticeable difference between Rhyothemis varie- 

 gata variegata and Rh. variegata arria, the Indian and 

 Chinese forms of this variable species, is one of size, and in 

 this respect our type undoubtedly belongs to the smaller 

 Indian form, the abdomen measuring 20*5 mm. and the hind 

 wing 30-5 mm. 



(4) Libellula notata, F. Type. 

 ( = Rhyothemis notata, F.) 



Labels: — "Libellula notata Fabr. Mss. Ins. n. 19''; 

 oblong white ticket, " Sierra Leone," written. 



Diagnosis : — " L. alis planis nigris : maculis apiceque 

 albis. Habitat in Sierra Leon Africse Mus. Dom. Banks." — 

 F., Mant. Ins. i. p. 337, no. 19 (1787). 



This type is a normal specimen of the West-African species 

 figured and described by His as the true notata of Fabricius 

 (Coll. Selys, Libell., fasc. xv. p. 959, pi. vii.; 1913). The 

 abdomen is missing, and the sex has not been definitely 

 determined, although the wing-pattern rather indicates a 

 male. The hind wing measures 26 mm.
