On May 20, at the lake where we collected, this species 

 greatly exceeded in numbers all other species. They were all 

 recently emerged and many were scarcely able to fly. These 

 tenerals, as might be expected, kept themselves closely to the 

 vegetation, only a few of the more mature resting on the tips 

 of the bulrushes. With maturity this species commonly selects 

 more lofty resting places, and at Brownsville and also at the 

 lake at Black Bayou, visited on May 18 and 21, individuals 

 were seen resting on the tips of bushes out of reach of the in- 

 sect net. In fact, one was shot from such a lofty perch within 

 a few yards of the spot where B. fiircata was taken resting in 

 the grass.

In all the males the frons above is metallic violet, though the area 

 is reduced in one individual. The lateral thoracic stripes are evident 

 in 10 males ; in 3 males these stripes, especially the second, are scarcely 

 evident. In 3 males the basal hind wing color reaches A2 and posteri- 

 orly it is on a level with the arculus ; in 10 males the color reaches 

 A3 and posteriorly it scarcely attains the level of the arculus. 



In the 3 females the lateral thoracic stripes are evident ; the frons 

 above at base is rich reddish brown, in front bright yellow ; the basal 

 color on hind wing reaching A2 in i individual, and A3 in 2 indi-
