Lestes dryas Kirby, 1890 View in CoL .

Material. — 2 ♀ (adult), Moyen Atlas, Bab-bou-Idir, 25 km SW of Taza , 1500 m, 10-VI-1961, J. Dorgelo ( MA) .

P. Aguesse & J. P. Pruja (1958b) also examined a female from Babbou-Idir in eastern Morocco. E. Schmidt (1961: 405) refers to L. dryas only as follows: « ... marokkanische und japanische Serien sind noch grösser ».

Our specimens are not at all larger than usual, measuring 29.0-30.0 mm for the abdomen and 25.7-28.3 mm for the hind wing.
