730 NEW AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF THE FAMILY AESCHN1DM. 



In conclusion, it may be remarked that the five species of the 

 family Aeschnidce now added to the Australian list form about as 

 miscellaneous and as remarkable a set of insects as it would be 

 possible to find. An East Indian species, a Chilian species, and 

 of the new ones, one belonging to an Indian genus and the other 

 two probably the types of new genera — this serves to show us 

 the composite character of the Australian Odonate fauna, and 

 encourages us to believe that nowhere else in the world will 

 careful study and collecting of the group yield so many surprises 

 and treasures.
