W. end of Parana de Buyassu, Jan. 15, 1896. 



Allied to G. diphylla, gladiata^ and sordida, De Selys, but 

 apparently distinct from either. Appears to approach the 

 first in the spotting of the abdomen and the others in the 

 markings of the thorax. I have named the species after 

 Mr. Philip Calvert, of Philadelphia, in recognition of the 

 useful work he is doing in the Odonata. 



There are three more specimens of tliis genus from Pard, 

 Breves, and Manaos, respectively, which may be new, but 

 these are immature and in poor condition, so that it is not 

 advisable to describe them in the absence of more and better 

 specimens.
