Agrion lindeni Selys.

Lake Huleh , ♀, 24.v.22 .

Through its small size (h.-w. 16 mm.), slightly immature condition and Ischnura-like neuration, this specimen puzzled me so much that eventually I submitted it to Dr. Ris, who determined it as A. lindeni . 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. The locality, Asia Minor, is, however, retained in Cat. Kirby. Distribution mainly western; the farthest east from which I had hitherto seen i t is the European side of the sea of Marmora.
