Fabricius's additional words, "Prsecedenti \_L. stigmatizans'\ 

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

The most noticeable difference between Rhyothemis varie- 

 gata variegata and Rh. variegata arria, the Indian and 

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

 this respect our type undoubtedly belongs to the smaller 

 Indian form, the abdomen measuring 20"O mm. and the hind 

 wing 30 5 mm.

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

 figured and described by Ris 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. Tlie hind wing measures 26 mm.
