MADEIRA AND THE CANARY ISLANDS. 183

Canaries : TenerifFe (according to Brauer, Eeise der * JN'ovara,' 

 Neuroptera, p. 61). Not seen by me from the islands.

Hagen (Verli. z.-b. Gesellsch, Wien, xvii. p. 31) says he pos- 

 sesses an example indicated " im atlantischen Meere drei Meilen * 

 von den canarischen Inseln, von Afrika kommend gefangen." 

 This is a well-known migratory species, which occasionally appears 

 on the European shores of the Mediterranean in great numbers, 

 though I think there is as yet no evidence that it breeds in 

 Europe. I have an example indicated as found on the shore at 

 Mogador during a storm in January. 



This species may safely be given as Cauarian on the evidence 

 of Hagen's specimen, 



Agrionina.

All the females that I have seen from Madeira pertain to the 

 dimorphic orange-coloured condition.

Madeira. 



My knowledge of this African species as Madeiran is based 

 solely on 1 c? and 1 $ in De Selys's collection. The c?is from 

 Eambur's collection, and is labelled by him 'Agrion imdercs,'' an 

 unpublished name ; it is in bad condition, but is certified as sene- 

 galensis by De Selys. 



suture (" Quergriite") of the second segment of formosns, so far as the angle 

 formed by it in its middle is concerned ; I find all intermediate conditions in 

 the long series before me, independent of locality. 

 * German miles must be understood.
