178 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [June, 



Contributions to the Odonata of Maine. — IV. 



By (the late) F. L. Harvey, Orono, Me.* 

 (Continued from Ent. News., Vol. IX, Nos. 3 and 4, 1898). 



Species in this article reported for the first time by me are 

 numbered from 67 to 82. Those below 67 refer to species first 

 reported in Ent. News, Vol. II, Nos. 3 and 4, 1891 ; Vol. Ill, 

 Nos. 4 and 5, 1892, and Vol. IX, Nos. 3 and 4, 1898. Four- 

 teen species new to Penobscot water are recorded, making the 

 species known to occur in the Penobscot Valley 82. The num- 

 ber of species known to the writer to occur in Maine is 93. We 

 have added full descriptions of some of the rarer species, think- 

 ing they will be acceptable to entomologists. We have taken 

 pains to give exact data, recording localities for rare species so 

 that in the future others may know where to look for them. 



The remarkable finds are Eriallagma geminatum, Ophiogotn- 

 phus carolus, the females of Ophiogomphiis anomahis and an 

 abundance of males ; Ophiogomplms asperus, Ophiogomphus 

 johannus, an abundance of the males of Gojnphiis scudderi ; 

 Neurocordulia Yamaskanensis and Somatochlora septentrionalis 

 new to the United States ; Celithe^nis ornata taken inland, and 

 Leucorlmiia frigida and glacialis, both rare species. 



Subfamily Calopterygin^. 

 T. Galopteryx macalata Beauv. 



A single male on Russell Stream, N. E. Carry, August 27th, 

 1899 (Harvey). 



54. Hetaerina americana Fabr. 



A single male along a swift flowing brook, July, 1898, Au- 

 burn (E. D. Merrill) ; many of both sexes, 1898, Winslow 

 (C. F. Hitchings) ; Chemo Mills, Sept. 13, 1899 (Harvey). 

 Prof. Hitchings has reared this species and has the nymphs. 

 Our specimens were taken from rocks in swift water, 



* The last leUer from Prof. Harvey received by me, written a very few 

 days before his death, accompanied the manuscript of this article, and 

 contained this request : " Please make the best you can of this for me." 

 I have carefully compared the various sheets sent to me, some being in 

 duplicate— with the present result. A few supplementary notes of my 

 own are enclosed in square brackets []. — P. P. Calvert.
