THE IMMATURE STATE OF THE ODONATA. ity. 
7. ANAX AMAZILI. 
Burm. Hdb. II. p. 841. 
Nympha, full-grown, male and female, dry; one in alcohol. Length, 53 
to 58mm.; breadth, 10mm. Locality, Jamaica, Mr. H. J. Hubbard; Central 
America. 
Similar to A. Junius, but considerably longer, though not broader; the 
mask four times longer than broad at the base (little more than three times 
longer in A. Junius); palpus cut straight at tip, with strong hook ; proc- 
esses above the first legs of equal size and length, enclosing a very obtuse 
angle; lateral appendages sharply pointed (in A. Junius dilated internally to 
the abruptly pointed tip); basal projection of the middle appendage of the 
male narrowed on tip and notched, about one third as long as the lateral 
appendages (broad on tip and emarginated, half as long as the lateral ap- 
pendages in A. Junius). 
A. Amazili is known from Cuba and Barbados, not yet from Jamaica; but 
there is no other species of Anax known from the Antilles. 
8 ANAX SPECIES. 
Nymphe, full-grown and young, male and female in alcohol. Length, 20 
to 42mm.; breadth, 9mm. Locality, Holy tank at Ibanca, East India, 
Rev. M. Carleton. 
Similar to A. Junius. Processes more blunt; posterior smaller, enclosing 
an obtuse angle. Mask longer, the front margin less prominent, more 
rounded, Palpus narrowed at tip, upper angle rounded, lower one produced 
in a strong oblique end hook, below finely denticulated. Appendages, as in 
A. Junius, abruptly pointed, more so at the male; projection of male slightly 
notched at tip. 
The determination of the species is not possible. One, A. immaculifrons, 
was received by Rev. M. Carleton, though not from the same locality. A. 
Bacchus, perhaps identical with A. Parthenope, lives in the sub-Himalaya ; 
and A. perplexus Hagen, from Kooloo Valley, Himalaya, was received by 
Rev. M. Carleton; both sexes. Perhaps the nymph belong to the latter 
undescribed species.
