( (J , no. 7.) " Apex of eye red, balance greyish green. Epi- 

 cranium fulvous; clypeus and labrum olivaceous.

 metallic i'asciaj on either side of, separated from, and parallel 

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



" Abdomen black, with green n)arkings. 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 Burra.), from Buenos 

 Aires ; and in the absence of specimens from tliat locality 

 agreeing with liambur'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. 



Macrothemis vulgipes (?). 



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

 p. 320 (1898). 



( ? , no. 8.) " Apex of eye reddish brown, bordered witii 

 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 

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

 of the median line. Thorax fuscous, with green markino-s. 



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

 longitudinal green marking.s, 7 with two green markinfi-s." 



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

 except that the wings are clear hyaline, with no yellow tino-e 

 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, tiiere is 

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

 wings the arculus corresponds with the second antenodal
