74 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [May, 



Five North American species are recognized in the paper re- 

 ferred to, viz. : C. angustipennis, amata, dimidiata (with race 

 apicalis), aquabilis (with mces htidsonica ^ndyakima) and ntacu- 

 lata, Of these I have seen dimidiata (and r. apicalis), csquabilis 

 and tnaculata. 



Dr. Hagen states ("Psyche," v, p. 242) that " The genus 

 Calopteryx largely represented in the northern boreal and tem- 

 perate zone nowhere passes to the south beyond the 30th degree. ' ' 

 I possess a male dimidiata, formerly in the collection of Prof P. 

 R. Uhler, of Baltimore; when Prof Uhler gave this specimen to 

 me it bore (and still bears) the label " Calopteryx, Honduras." 

 Honduras, including that part under British rule, extends from 

 about the i8th to the 13th parallel of North latitude. The most 

 southern locality in all America for any species of Calopteryx, as 

 given by Dr. Hagen, is Florida. 



In the Am. Ent. Soc. collection are two males of apicalis from 

 Delaware, a new locality. In the same collection are two females, 

 one certainly, the other probably from Delaware; I think that 

 they also belong to apicalis. The measurements of these females 

 are: Total length 40 — 40.5 mm.; abdomen, 31.5 — 32.5 mm.; 

 anterior wing, ^o mm. ; posterior, 29 mm. 



Of (zquabilis I possess one male and one female, both taken 

 by Mr. Harry L. Walker at Belvidere, Boone County, 111. , June 

 29, 1888, "on the bank of a little stream." Both agree very 

 well with Dr. Hagen' s description, except that the wings of the 

 female are hardly smoky at the apex. 



For maculata I add a new locality, Tama County, Iowa; two 

 males and one female taken June 21, 28, 29, 1889, by Miss Alda 

 M. Sharp.
