Hagen.] 350 [March 25, 



Institution. I published in 1863, in the Stett. Ent. Zeit., T. xxiv, 

 p. 369-378, a paper on the Neuroptera of Georgia. A considerable 

 number of colored drawings made by the late Major J. E. LeConte 

 (a few of them, however, may be by Abbot) , now in possession of 

 Dr. John L. LeConte, induced me to attempt again a sketch of the 

 Odonata Fauna of Georgia, and I was courteously allowed by Dr. 

 LeConte to examine the drawings in his possession. They are re- 

 markably fine for details and execution; indeed they are so exact 

 that I was able directly to recognize by the reticulation of the wings, 

 and the arrangement of the veins in the triangle, a genus which I 

 had never seen from North America before, and of which only a 

 short time ago a species was described from Oregon by the Baron De 

 Selys Longchamps. As 1 had the pleasure since to receive from Mr. 

 Uhler a specimen from Georgia, the verification of this interesting 

 drawing was confirmed in the most doubtless manner. I believe this 

 drawing is a test for the degree of confidence we can give to all the 

 others. 



Family JESCHNINA. 

 t 



1. Anax Junius. Male No. 61, LeConte; male No. 4, fern. 

 No. 6, Br. Mus. April 15, d", March 23, ?. Flies swiftly, not com- 

 mon. (The notes given always from the copy in the Br. Mus.) 



2. Anax longipes. 



This species is not figured by Abbot, but was described by myself 

 from a female in the collection of Mr. Escher Zollikofer in Zurich, 

 Switzerland, sent to him from Abbot. I should remark that I find 

 this statement repeated in the Synopsis of N. American Neurop- 

 tera, in my manuscript description, but not in the catalogue manu- 

 script I composed at the same time, of all species communicated to 

 me by Mr. Escher Zollikofer. This species has been newly redis- 

 covered as Mr. M'Lachlan told me, and is a very distinct species.

 summer and autumn.
