The ♀ has been described at, some length by Selys (Syn. Calopterygines, 4 th Add., P. 26) from an example from the same locality communicated by McLach-lan. The ♂ does not appear to have been described. Whether this fine form be regarded as a species or a local race of E. fatime, the name seems to be well worthy of retention.	en	K. J.

Almost entirely pruinose or blackened excepting the pale yellowish labium, the bow of mandibles, genae, margin of the eyes below thc antennae, and the labrum, the last with a dark central virgule; anteclypeus a sordid tan colour. Wings: a brownish black opaque apical space reaching to about the middle of pterostigma or even beyond; in one example a brownish suffusion in one cell proximal to pterostigma. Forewings suffused with brown from arculus or triangle half-way t o nodus or rather beyond with coloured rays reaching the base in subcostal and submedian areas; hardly any colour in costal area or less pronounced there, reduced t o slight brown margins on the cross veins: cells usually clearer in their centres. In the hindwings the brown suffusion is richer and denser extending nearly t o the level of the nodus, more suffused distally and towards the anal margin, but in the middle of the dark area the clearer centre of the cells much less pronounced and the costal space more suffused with brown than in fore-wings. In one example the dark shading is reduced being only distinct in a portion of the subcostal area (5 or 6 cells) and the nervures are narrowly bordered with brownish for 5 or 6 cells distally from arculus and as far as Cu 2.

03F087BBB411FFB4FC07F889432CFD86.taxon	discussion	Under the name of Psilocnemis kervillei, Rene Martin has described (l. c. p. 214) adult and a younger condition of a curious little dragon-fly taken by Gadeau de Kerville near lac de Homs, Syria, 19 th May, which added quite a new feature to the Odonata of the Western Palaearctic region. Nothing more seems to have been recorded regarding it, but Dr. Ris has kindly communicated to me a ♂ which he had on hand from the Munich Museum, and which, although larger than Martin’s types, and from Eregli, Asia Minor, a locality somewhat remote from the original one, he considers is very probably the same as Martin’s species, agreeing as it does in most essentials with Martin’s rather short description. Dr. Ris adds that although the proportions of the antennae are much more as in Coeliccia, the neural characters (quadrangles and origin of A *) agree better with Copera. The insect indeed seems to combine some characters of Coeliccia, Copera and Platycnemis, and in its pruinose state bears a superficial resemblance to a small Pseudagrion pruinosum. It may be useiul to give a description of this Eregli example.	en	K. J. Morton (1924): The Dragon-flies (Odonata) of Palestine, based primarily on collection made by Dr. P. A.

No doubt he is right, the posterior margin of prothorax, mesostigmal lamina, pterostigma and markings agreeing almost perfectly with that species. The neuration (M, only 4 cells in f. - w., and 3 in h. - w., distal from nodus) may be regarded as consistent with the reduced size of the insect. Recorded by Selys (after Hagen) from Kellemisch in Rev. Odon., 1850, and Synops. Agrionines, 1876, but for some unexplained reason omitted from his paper of 1887.

03F087BBB41EFFBEFC10FC9843CEF982.taxon	discussion	The only references known to me as t o the occurrence of Mesogomphus in the region are those of de Selys, who records under the name of Onychogomphus hagenii a ♂ from Beirut in his collection, adding that Hagen had received the same species from Syria through Lederer. As I a m disposed to doubt that the above Palestine examples are different from the Beirut insect, my use of the name genei requires explanation. An altogether extraordinary confusion has arisen in connection with three Selysian names: O. genei (Selys, 1841, type ♀, Sicily, Mus. Turin), O. hagenii (Selys, 1871, ♂ ♀, Egypt, Mus. Berol.) and O. costae (Selys, 1885, ♂, Oran, coll. Selys). I n 1871 Selys separated from genei under the name of hagenii, the ♂ ♀ from Egypt which he considered he had erroneously associated with his type ♀ of genei from Sicily in Mon. Gomphines, a step be it noted primarily due t o a misapprehension on his part regarding a ♂ from Oran (thought by him to be the true ♂ of genei) subsequently known as O. costae, a species which occurs in Spain. I n 1878 he reported the ♂ hagenii from Beirut, associating with it a darker example from Abyssinia communicated by McLachlan. I n 1887 he says of his Beirut example that it is like pumilio only a little larger and not quite so pale, more greenish: genei from Sicily (with excelsus Costa as a synonym) he says is larger than hagenii and the colour of the body darker. McLachlan (1897) records from Algeria, all under the name of genei, examples of both sexes from Biskra and a pair from Lac Houbeira; to the former he was inclined at first to apply the name genei (as represented by the original type from Sicily), these having the abdomen less darkly marked and being without a dark band on the top of the front before the ocelli. The Lac Houbeira examples he inclined to consider hagenii Selys (with excelsus Costa as a synonym - in this differing from Selys); these having the abdomen somewhat heavily marked with black and a broad blackish band on the top of the front before the ocelli. McLachlan indicates that hagenii from Abyssinia seems to differ from the Lac Houbeira examples only in having the abdomen still more blackish at the extremity. To follow McLachlan, the Palestine examples would appear to agree better with his conception of genei than of hagenii, but the differences in size and colour which Selys and he mention seem to be of doubtful value. Whether there are two species, and both of them present in the Mediterranean region, may remain an open question until more material is available especially from Sicily and Sardinia, but I incline to the view that there is only one, Mesogomphus genei, and that M. hageni should be cancelled. As Dr. Ris has pointed out (in litt.), much has been written on this subject, but it is all based on a very small number of actual specimens and observations. For the better understanding of the questions involved he has been good enough to take the trouble of tabulating the relative literature, and his lists are given herewith with his approval. These cannot fail to be useful to any one who may in the future have occasion to go into the matter. Words enclosed in square brackets are personal additions and appreciations by Dr. Ris.	en	K. J.

These are incomplete, the apex of the abdomen having been lost in both. There is considerable agreement between the description in Mon. Gomph. p. 341 (separate, p). 81), and a n example given to me by Bartenef of his Onychogomphus fulvipennis from Lagodechi in the Caucasus, but as the agreement is not quite complete the discovery of more perfect material from the south coast, of Asia Minor must be awaited before a decision is possible.	en	K.
