Thus the statement made by Kolbe (Archiv ftir Natur- 

 geschichte, LIV, p. 153) that the West Indian Neuroptera 

 show marked South American affinities is again sub- 

 stantiated by these Montego Bay Odonata. 



LIST OF SPECIES 



Ortholestes clara Calvert. Confined to Jamaica, where appar- 

 ently it is found only on the eastern end of the island. Two 

 males were secured at Cinchona on the summit of the Blue 

 Mountains, 5,000 feet above sea level; not seen elsev/here. 



Lestes spumarius Selys. Confined to the West Indies; fairly 

 common around the ponds and along the dead water of the 

 rivers. 



TeleMsis dominicana (Selys). Found on several of the West 

 Indies and in Guiana; rather rare at the large pond on the 

 Jarrett sugar estate; not found elsewhere. 



Ceratura capreola (Hagen). Recorded from several of the West 

 Indies and Brazil; "almost the smallest species known" 

 (Hagen); extremely common at the large pond on the Jarrett 

 estate, but not seen elsewhere; both orange and green females 

 were secured with the males; two of the orange females have 

 only a tiny blue spot on the ninth segment. 



Micronympha ramhurii (Selys). Recorded from several of the 

 West Indies and on the continent from the northern United 

 States to Peru and Venezuela. Orange, olivaceous, and black 

 females were secured with the males; some of the males have 

 the ninth segment entirely blue on the dorsal surface like 

 fluviatilis, but the appendages are those of ramhurii. 



Enallagma douMedayi (Selys). Found in Cuba and in North 

 America from Florida to Massachusetts; fairly common at the 

 small pond on the Hale estate, but only one specimen seen 

 elsewhere. 



Enallagma coecum (Hagen). Recorded from Cuba and St. 

 Thomas, but not before from Jamaica; rather rare and found 

 only at the pond on the Jarrett estate. 



Enallagma civile (Hagen). Found in several of the West In- 

 dies, all over the United States, in Canada, Mexico and Texas; 

 not previously recorded from Jamaica; fairly common at all 

 the ponds. 



Amphiagrion vulneratum (Hagen). Confined to the West In- 

 dies, where it has been recorded from Cuba and Porto Rico, 

 but not before from Jamaica; comparatively rare and found 

 only at the pond on the Jarrett estate. 



Amomalagrion hastatum (Say). Recorded from Cuba, but not 

 hitherto from Jamaica; found also in Venezuela and in the 

 United States from Florida to Maine; both black and orange 

 females found with the males; very abundant at the pond on 

 the Jarrett estate.
