KELL1COTT. 67 



ance of a small denticle, inner distal angle strongly 

 concave ; from side view an inferior prominence oc- 

 cupies the outer third. Inferiors more spreading 

 than the superiors, of nearly the same length, and, 

 from side view turned upward at the tip. 



The female has the occiput straight, and the legs 

 more olive than those of the male. This species may 

 be easily separated from villosipes and furcifer by its 

 fuscous instead of black color • and by the superior 

 appendages of the male, which instead of the inner 

 distal angle being produced into a process which points 

 obliquely inward, as in those species, the prominence of 

 this angle takes the general direction of the body of 

 appendage. From exilis it may be readily separated 

 by its color and larger size. 



Gomphus spicatus, Selys. 



Length of abdomen c? 35, 9 35, hind wing 9 27, 

 c? 30. 



Colors olive, brown and fuscous. Male; occiput 

 olive, regularly convex, ciliated with black hairs on the 

 superior margin : prothorax fuscous with the usual 

 lighter markings. Mid-dorsal carina margined, each 

 side with brown ; humeral and antehuraeral bands 

 present, brown, obscurely separated by olive for at least 

 part of their extent, space between the first and second 

 lateral sutures brown, none of the brown markings on 

 the thorax are as conspicuous as in the foregoing 

 species of this group. Legs fuscous, all the tibiae 

 vittate with olive above ; wings, costa yellow; pteros- 

 tigma brown, covering four cells and part of a fifth. 

 Abdomen, dorsal band present, segments 8-9 yellow on 

 the inferior edge of the lateral surface. Superior ap- 

 pendages divaricate, as long as 10, wedge shaped with 

 an acute projection near the middle of the outer border, 

 apex acuminate. From side view, near the middle of
