Bythemis Broadway i. 



Bythemis Broadwayi, Kirb. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xiv. p. 227 



(1894). 

 Bythemis sterilis, Calv. (or Hagen ?), Proc, California Acad. (2) iv. 



p. 522, pi. xvi. figs. 52-55 (1895). 

 Bythemis velox (Hagen), var. sterilis, Calv. Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. 



Hist, xxviii. p. 310 (1898). 



( S j 110 - 7.) " Apex of eye red, balance greyish green. Epi- 

 cranium fulvous j clypeus and labrum olivaceous. 



" Dorsal aspect of mesepisterna green, with two darker-hued 

 metallic fascia? on either side of, separated from, and parallel 

 to the median line. Notum green, with black border. 



" Abdomen black, with green markings. In tergite 2 the 

 markings occupy nearly all the surface, in 3-7 they are 

 acutely triangular and basal, running parallel to and on 

 either side of the median line ; they become nearly obliterated 

 on the eighth tergite. Cercopoda black." 



Two specimens. 



I provisionally retain my name D. Broadwayi for this 

 species or variety, for Hagen's name of D. sterilis was in- 

 tended to replace tessellata, Ramb. (nee Burm.), from Buenos 

 Aires ; and in the absence of specimens from that locality 

 agreeing with Rambur's tessellata, and to which Hagen's 

 name of sterilis is alone primarily applicable, I do not 

 care to apply it to specimens from widely different localities 

 without further evidence. 



Macrotliemis vulgipes (?). 



Macrothemis vulyipes, Calvert, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist, xxviii. 

 p. 320 (1898). 



( $ , no. 8.) " Apex of eye reddish brown, bordered with 

 glaucous, lower portion olive-green. Epicranium fuscous 

 near suture at base of ocelli-bearing sclerite ; clypeus and 

 labrum olivaceous. 



" Dorsal aspect of mesepisterna fuscous, with two green 

 fasciae running parallel to, separate from, and on either side 

 of the median line. Thorax fuscous, with green markings. 



" Tergum of abdomen black. Tergites 1-5 with lateral 

 longitudinal green markings, 7 with two green markings." 



Two specimens, agreeing with Prof. Calvert's description, 

 except that the wings are clear hyaline, with no yellow tinge 

 except at the base, and that the double row of post-triangular 

 cells on the fore wings only increases to three on the hind 

 margin instead of to four ; in one specimen, indeed, there is 

 only one row of these cells on the margin itself. On the fore 

 wings the arculus corresponds with the second antenodai
