JEschnina ^17 African), 205 Calopterygina (19 African), 535 Agrionina (55

xi. pp. 5-34, pi. i. 
Based principally on the materials collected by Semper. 77 species are 
enumerated (or described), of which 41 are peculiar to the Philippines, 
the others being found also in the neighbouring islands. Only one genus 
( Ilypocnemis ) is peculiar. 
A list of five species (of no importance) collected by Cavanna in 
southern Italy is given by Targioni-Tozzetti & Stefanelli in Bull. Ent. 
Ital. xiv. p. 54. 
F. Sordelli notices in some detail two fossil species found at Montes- 
cano near Stradella, Lombardy ; he inclines to refer them to Libellula 
euryiiome and L. doris , Heer ; Bull. Ent. Ital. xiv. pp. 226-228. 
Silvanus Wilkins, Midi. Nat. v. pp. 228-234, has a popular article “ On 
a Dragon-Fly,” in which, among other extraordinary statements, we find 
the British species of Odonata estimated at about 200. [There are only 
about 100 in all Europe. — R ec.] 
Libellulina.

Libellula quadrimaculata , L. Every year a prodigious migration of 
this species takes place in the Charente Inferieure at the end of Sep- 
tember, from north to south. They are always paired, the mandibles 
of one sox holding the extremity of the abdomen of the other [!] ; C. 
Riveau, Feuill. Nat. xii. p. 123. An immense swarm appeared in Hol- 
land, at Zierikzee, May 30th, from 11 in the morning till 11 at night, 
they came from the south-west ; Fokker, Tijdschr. Ent. xx. Yerslag, 
p. xvi. 
Libellula chrysostigma , Burm. McLachlan (J. L. S. xvi. pp. 177-179) 
gives the results of a dotailcd investigation regarding this Canarian 
insect ; it is not identical with trinacria , Selys, as was supposed, but = 
barbara , Selys (= also olympia , Brulle), and hence is an Orthetrum (= 
Libella, Brauer). L. trinacria not a true Lepthemis , but is more allied 
to Orthetrum. 
Libellula rubella , Brulle, = L. Urteriosa , Burm., and hence is a Trithe- 
mis ; McLachlan, l. c. p. 179.
