confounded with any other: the defcription, though concife, 1s expref- 
five, and perfeétly applicable to the infeét before us. Fabricius fpeaks 
of the fpecies only im the words of Linneus. 
There isa figure of one of the Libellula in the work of Sulzer, 
given under the name of Cancellata, which nearly refembles the prefent 
infect, but is fcarcely more than half its fize ; and this figure is repeated 
from the fame plate in the work of Roemer, but neither is referred to 
‘by Fabricius. The magnitude of L. Cancellata is not fpecified; the 
figure appears to be tolerably correét, fo far at leaft as to be under- 
ftood, and we fhould rather fufpect it to be a dwarf example of the 
fame infect. 
The “ Icones Inf. circa Ratifbon.” of Scheffer, plate 137, fig. 1. 
prefents another reprefentation, if we miftake not, of the fpecies 
Cancellata, in fize approaching much nearer to the fpecimen delineated, 
in the annexed plate. It appears without any {pecific name, as ufual, 
in that work. Thefe are the only figures we at prefent recollect, that, 
in our opinion, are to be efteemed fynonymous. 
This interefting infect is delineated from a fpecimen in the. cabinet 
of Mr. W. Leach, F. LS.
