Addition 



to the knowledge of the Neuropterous 



insect fauna of Corsica. II. 



By 



Esben Petersen, Silkeborg. 



During the summer 1912 Mr. V. Budtz has forwarded 

 to me large lots of Neuropterous insects, collected on Corsica, 

 and as he not only has re-found several of the species described 

 by Hagen, but also found undescribed species, it seems 

 to me that his endeavours to encrease our knowledge to the 

 fauna of the island are worth the following notes. 



Odonata. 



The number of species here recorded is not a great one, 

 only 1 1 species are found in the collections. Ed. deSélys- 

 Longchamps quotes 24 species in his »Catalogue des 

 Névroptéres Odonates de la Corse« (Ann. Soc. ent. de France, 

 1864, pag. 35). Of the below cited species two are not in- 

 cluded in the »Catalogue«, viz. Æschna mixta and Agrion 

 cærulescens. 



1. Orthetrum brunneum Fonsc. A fine series of males; I 



have not seen any female from Corsica. 



2. Orthetrum coerulescens Fabr. Several specimens of 



both sexes. 



3. Crocothemis erythraea Brullé. A good number of males 



were present, but only few females. 



4. Sympetrum striolatum Charp. A long series of speci- 



mens of both sexes.
