Telagrion? daeckii, n. sp. (PI. Ill, figs, i, 3-5). 



(^. Pale blue, with the following black markings : a mid-basal dot on 

 the labrum, a pair of dots and a transverse basal line on the nasus, lines 

 in the grooves on the vertex, some of which (together with a black trans- 

 verse stripe across the rear of the head and a black stripe along each eye 

 margin) enclose a pair of large triangular pale blue postocular spots ; a 

 pair of curved stripes on the middle prothoracic lobe, a mid-dorsal tho- 

 racic stripe hardly wider than the carina, a short stripe at the lower end 

 of the humeral suture and a still smaller one at its upper end, these 

 two connected by a narrow black stripe in the New Jersey (^, a very 

 short line at the upper end of the second lateral thoracic suture ; a mid- 

 dorsal stripe with some metallic green reflections on abdominal segments 

 1-6 for almost the entire length of each segment (except for a narrow, 

 transverse, basal, pale blue ring on 3-6, which is also present on 7), 

 widened anteapically on 2-6 ; a dorsal stripe on the basal three-fourths to 

 four-fifths of 7, prolonged slightly farther toward the apex as a mid-dorsal 

 line ; a superior stripe on all the femora, and an anterior (external) line 

 on the first tibiae. The apex of 7 and all of 8-10 except the sternum of 8 

 are pale blue. 



Hind margin of prothorax convex, entire, flattened slightly on each 

 side instead of being equally curved throughout. 



Third tibiae with six well-developed spines on the anterior (outer) side. 

 All the tarsal claws with a distinct tooth which is considerably smaller 

 than the tip of the claw itself 



Tenth abdominal segment less than half as long as 9, smooth and simple 

 above, its hind margin with a wide but shallow concavity.
