37. Sympetmm vicinaiii Hagen. 



This species is the latest one of this genus on the wing in 

 Maine. Specimens were taken at Ktaadn Iron Works, October 

 14, 1899, and we have seen them as late as November about 

 Orono. Many pairs were seen mating and ovipositing at Chemo 

 Stream, October 8, 1899. 



36. Sympetnun rnbicnndnlom Say. 



Common on Russell Stream the last of August, 1 899. Several 

 specimens seen August 24th on the top of Mt. Kineo, Moosehead 

 Lake. On the shore of Moosehead Lake, by a small pond near 

 Cliff Beach, we saw several hundred pairs mating. We have 

 never before seen so many specimens together of any species. 



Odonata Collected g.i Fryeburg , Me. — Between August 9th and 

 1 2th, we were at Fryeburg, Me., and spent one forenoon along 

 the old river ponds, to the west of the present channel of the 

 Saco River, collecting Odonates. The locality is close to the 

 New Hampshire line, and the species will be interesting as 

 representing an extreme western Maine location. The species 

 observed were as follows : Lestes disjiinctus^ forcipatus, rec- 

 tangularis, vigilax ; Nehalennia irene ; E^iallagma Hageni ; Is- 

 chnura verticalis ; Libellula pulchella ; Sympetrum ruhicundulum^ 

 vicinum and obtrusum. 



Lestes vigilax seems to be a western Maine species, as it has 

 not been taken in the Penobscot valley. The only other Maine 

 locality we know for Sympetrum obtrustivi is York Harbor 

 (Moore). 



A New Pammegischia. 



By William H. Ashmead. 



Dr. E. P. Felt, State Entomologist of New York, has re- 

 cently sent to Dr. L. O. Howard, a parasite bred from a horn- 

 tail saw-fly Xiphidia provaiicheri Cresson, which proves to be a 

 new species in the rare genus Pammegischia Provancher. 



It is here described at the request of Dr. Felt.
