ODONATA COLLECTED BY MISS MARGARET E. FOUNTAINE IN ALGERIA, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF ISCHNURA.

BY KENNETH J. MORTON, F.E.S.

Miss Fountaine, tbe records of whose butterfly-collecting ex-

periences in many countries must have been read with delight by all entomologists, had the kindness to take for me in Algeria during the past summer a large number of Neuroptera. These were sent forward by post from time to time and the perfect condition in which they 146 [June, arrived compares most favourably with almost anything I have seen in the wav of Neuroptera sent from abroad, and speaks of most care- ful collecting and handling, I would like to express here my thanks to Miss Fountaine for the courteous and ready way in which she has assisted me in this matter.

The collection proves to be of much interest, as it adds, as far as I can ascertain, two or three species to the Algerian fauna, and especially it comprises a fine series of the genus Ischnura^ including a species that is certainly new. I propose to describe this new species now, and at the same time to give an annotated list of the other species of Odonata taken—22 in all.

In connection with the following notes it will be found useful to refer to the paper by the late Mr, McLachlan, " Odonata collected by the Eev. A. E. Eaton in Algeria," &c. (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxiii, July,

1897, pp. 152 — 157). There is a considerable difference in the com- position of the two collections. In point of numbers Miss Fountaine's captures compare well with those of Mr. Eaton — considering that they represent the result of but one season's collecting by one who had no previous knowledge of the Order. There is, however, an absence of some important forms of Mediterranean or North African type. This may be due in part to the fact that Mr. Eaton's came largely from the eastern province of Constantine, while much of Miss Fountaine's collecting was done in the province of Oran, which Mr. Eaton did not visit.

Subfam. Libellulinje.

St/mpetrum fonscolombn, Selys. —The (? of this species when fully udult is in life a beautiful insect, and it much attracted Miss Fountaine, who sent a fine series of it from Sebdou, taken from June 26th till August 8th. It also occurred at Tlemcen, July 12th.

S^mpefrum striolatum, Charp.—T^niet-el-Haad, June 15th and 18th ; Sebdou,

July 1st ; evidently less commonly met with than the next species.

Sympetnnn meridionale, Selys. —Teniet-el-Haad, June 14th and 18th ; Sebdou, from June 27th till August 9th ; also Tlemcen, July 13th.

Crocothemis erythrxa, BruUe.—Biskra, April 2nd and 3rd. McLachlan {I. c.) remarks on the great variation in size and in intensity of colour. The latter no doubt depends on age. These Biskra examples are rather small. Orthetrvm ramhurii, Selys. — Biskra, April 2nd, and Hammam E'Irha, April 11th, about half a dozen specimens, all teneral but one. I think, however, they are certainly all ramburii.

Orthetrnm nitidinerve, Selys. —Teniet-el-Haad, June 8th, 10th, and 17th ; Sebdou, June 23rd to 3()th, and odd specimens on till July 23rd. 1905.] 147

Subfam. Gomphin^.

Onychogomphus furcipalus, L. —Sebdou, June 30th and July 2vA, 2 $ 9 •

Onychogomphus uncatus, Charp. —Teniet-el-Haad, June 13th ; Sebdou, June 24th, 25th, and 30tli. A species apparently of rather western distribution, not taken by Mr. Eaton. On the other hand. Miss Fountaine unfortunately missed O. costie and O. genei, which occurred to Mr. Eaton in the more eastern districts of Algeria in April, May, and June, and which formed a very interesting feature of

his collection.

Oomphus lucasii, Selys. —Teuiet-el-Haad, June 14th and 18th ; two

two ? . A ? from Sebdou, June 25th, remains a little uncertain.

Cordulegaster annulatus, Latr. — Sebdou, June 29th and July 9th ; Tleincen,

July 14th ; one S on each date. Believed to be new to Algeria, although previously striking — jirobably extreme of var. immacuUfrons, known from Morocco ; a form the

Selys. They may almost merit a distinct name, but iny southern material is too small to allow me to pronounce as to this, being confined to a few ^ $ from Digne, Basses Alpes. Subfam. ^schnin^.

JSschna mixta, L.^Teniet-el-IIaad, June 18th, one ? fully mature ; certainly mixta, notwithstanding the early date.

Boyeria Irene, Fonsc. — Sebdou, June 26t]i till July 8th, a few S S and one $ ;

Tlemcen, July 18th, one c? ; a'so new to Algeria. An interesting insect, of build somewhat like the tropical genera Qynacantha and Acanthagyna. Its known range appears to be rather restricted ; Selys, in his 1887 list, gives Southern France, the Iberian peninsula, and the Mediterranean islands. I am not sure what the last may comprise, but the species occurs in Sardinia.

Subfam. Caloptertgin^.

Cahpteryx hsemorrhoidalis, Van der L.— Sebdou. A series in mature and

perfect condition, chiefly taken on June 25th, but single specimens are dated July 6th and August 6th and 13th.

Calopteryx exul, Selys. — Sebdou, June 25th. A single (J , slightly imperfect, of this most interesting Algerian form.

Subfam. Ageionin^.

Platycnemis subdilatata, Selys.— Sebdou, June 25th, 26th, and 30th. A varied series (compare Mr. McLachlan, I. c, p. 156, on the subject of the variation of this species). Miss Fountaine was especially struck with the delicate beauty of the white form, the $ of which has a reddish-brown head and thorax.

ISCHNURA FOUNTAINE!, 71. Sp.

black. Post-ocular spots moderate. Posterior (J . Head above bronzed margin of prothorax with the central lobe small and rounded. Thorax bronzed blackish, humeral lines obsolete or obsolescent. Abdomen above daj-k, blackish or sides of these segments pale greenish-black : segments 1 and 2 with metallic sheen, blue; segments 3 to 7 bronzed black, 8 pale blue, 9 and 10 black above. In . .

segment 3 the bronze is broadest in front, then narrows, ex|jancUng again towards

the liind margin ; 4 and 5 rather narrowly black widening towards the hind margin, and in 6 the black becomes rapidly broader, 7 being entirely black above ; the lateral posterior part of 7 and tiie sides of 8, 9, and 10 blue ; under-side of abdomen mainly yellow. The bronze on the upper surface of the middle segments

seems to be rather narrower than in the other species.

In the (f the dorsal tubercle of segment 10 is little raised, but tlie excision is wide. The superior appendages are produced into a long process turned inwardly, these processes being closely approximated but not crossing ; these appendages are blackish above, but beneath they are whitish or pale testaceous. The inferior

appendages are large, nearly vertical, with an acute black tooth turned inwards, in

some aspects traces of one or two minute teeth ; excepting the teeth, all whitish.

In the only $ which can be associated with the $, the posterior lobe of the prothorax is distinctly raised somewhat triangular, the apex, however, almost

truncate. Segment 1 of abdomen witli an almost square bronzed mark ; 2 with the

bronze sliglitly narrowed behind.

Abdomen,

Biskra, 2nd April.

Apparently very distinct from all the other species of Isclinura found in Europe and Northern Africa, the inferior appendages of the

cJ being especially different. It differs from /. graellsii in the absence of the dorsal tubercle on the second segment of the abdomen,

this tubercle being a character of Isclinura maroccana also {cf. Kolbe,

Berliner Ent. Zeitschr. Ed. xxviii, 1884, p. 133). McLachlan (Ent. Mo.

Mag., XXV, p. 349), expressed the view that these two species were the

same. Be that as it may, neither has anything to do with the present

species, and I. lamellata, Kolbe, seems to be equally excluded.

Ischnura graellsii, Rbr. —Sebdou, various dates, June 23rd to 3Uth. The examples are very similar to others before me from several Spanish localities (received from Father Navas).

Ischnura sp. ?— Biskra, April 2nd. I am unable to satisfy myself with regard to this form. I submitted two $ to Dr. Ris, who inclines to the view that they do not differ specifically from graellsii. The appendages are very similar, yet I think there are slight differences. Then the posterior margin of the prothorax shows converging pale crests separated by a slight excision, in this respect different from graellsii. The peculiar structure noticeable on the dorsum of the 2nd abdominal segment is also much less pronounced than in graellsii {cf. McLachlan, Ent. Mo. Mag., XXV, p 349). These must remain doubtful until an opportunity arises of studying Isch. genei, to which species, it seems to me, they are allied.

Fyrrhosoma tenellum, Vill. —Sebdou, August 8th, I ^

Agrion mercuriale, Charp. — Sebdou, June 25th, 1 J

Agrion cserulescens, Fonsc. —Sebdou, June 23rd, 2*ith, and 30th. Both sexes.

Personally I have not seen Agrion scitulum from Algeria, although it is recorded .

July, 1905. 149

from that country. I have, however, received cmrulescens from Algeria under the

name of scitulum ; the two species are, without doubt, often confused.

Lestes viridis, Van der L. —Sebdou, August 3rd and 8th. A fine series of both sexes.

Si/mpycna fusca, Van der L.—Teniet-el-ITaad, June 16th ; Sebdou, June 25th and 26th.

Parasites.

I did not detect any ordinary parasite affecting H. hyerana. No larva afforded any ichneumon cocoons or Dipterous pupse, and apart from a few casualties, every larva that spun up produced a moth.
