INTRODUCTION From 1979 to 1982, I lived in Puerto Rico and collected there and in Hispani- ola. The odonate fauna of Puerto Rico is relatively well known and has been documentedin detail by KLOTS (1932) and GARCIA-DIAZ( 1938). Hispaniola is still poorly known. No works specifically treat its Odonata, but certain species from the Dominican Republic were discussed by NEEDHAM (1941a, 1941b) and WESTFALL (1964b, 1976). PAULSON (1982) tabulated 54 species for Hispaniola and 42 for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, respectively, based on in his collection. is twofold: to literature records and material My purpose here (1) describe of extended the a new species Diceratobasis, give comments on genus, 62 R.W. Garrison for and provide a key most neotropical coenagrionids lacking postocular spots, and (2) to supplement Paulson’s list with new records, in some cases elaborating on poorly known species from the two islands.

D. melanogaster has only a small, thin pale humeralstripe, while the is entire humeral area in D. macrogaster reddish-brown(Figs 1,2). The prothora- cic hindlobe ofthe males(Figs 3,4) and females(Figs 5,6) is also diagnostic: these structures are not as ornate in D. melanogaster. The caudalappendages of the males are similar, but the superior appendages are, in lateral view, blunter and thicker in D. melanogaster than in D. macrogaster. A most distinctive venation location of of difference is the the IR . In D. its is origin 2 melanogaster, origin recessed to the 3rd or 4th crossvein of the second series just proximal to the in both fore and hind pterostigma wings (Fig. 7). In the pair of D. macrogaster I have examined, this vein recesses to the 1st or 2nd postnodal crossveins of the second series just proximal to the pterostigma in fore and hind wings. is far from Diceratobasis melanogaster thus known only the type locality, and I presume it is endemic to Hispaniola. I encountered this species unexpectedly as I was collecting and photographing specimens of the endemic satyrid butterfly, Calisto chrysaoros Bates. The butterflies were alighting on fern tips by a road cut, first and I soon saw my specimen of D. melanogaster. Because it did not hang with its it pendant wings outspread, 1 recognized as new. I discovered another after extensive found specimen, but an search, only one more female. The species fern water observed in perched on tips or grass. No nor other odonates were the vicinity. The life history of D. melanogaster is unknown, but the larva may be bromeliadicolous, as is the larva of D. macrogaster. THE GENUS DICERATOBASIS described Originally by Selys as Agrion macrogaster in 1857, the species was transferred to Leptobasis? by SELYS in 1877, to Agrion (Nehalennia) by GUND- LACH in 1888, to Telebasis by CARPENTER in 1896 and 1897; and finally KENNEDY (1920) erected a new genus, Diceratobasis, to include this unusual defined species. KENNEDY (1920) the genus briefly: "Characters as in Metalep- tobasis, but male without thoracic horns, while a large pair of horns occur on the seminal vesicle”. undescribed of However, an species Metaleptobasis I have from thoracic Ecuador has minute horns uncharacteristicof the genus. The inclusion of D. melanogaster, which, in my opinion, represents the more generalized form of the two species in the genus, also invalidates the use of the horns of the seminal 66 R.W. Garrison vesicle as a generic character. The two genera differ principally in two characters: Metaleptobasis lacks a supplementary tarsal claw, while Diceratobasis possesses and one; Metaleptobasis possesses mesepistemal horns, while Diceratobasis lacks them. When I began to study D. melanogaster, 1 seriously doubted the validity of the genus despite the fact that WESTFALL (1964a, 1976) had no doubts about its validity after studying the larva of D.

The precise systematic position of this species within the former Neotropical Protoneuridae has been the subject of debate, with previous results from a phyloge- netic analysis based on morphology suggesting that the genus Microneura should be placed within the genus Protoneura. Here, we used mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequencing to disentangle the taxo- nomic status of this species. Our results show that Microneura belongs to the Protoneura clade, thus making Microneura a junior synonym of Protoneura. Finally, we provide notes on some observations of emergence and ovipositing behaviour of this species.

Paulson (1982) in his table of Odonata occurrences in Central American countrieslisted 94 species íromHondur as. ArgiadifficilisSe\y$ has been deleted from the Honduran list because it is thought not to occur in Central America, and was confused with A. oculata Hagen (R. W. Garrison, pers. comm.). The list below includes 54 more species for a total of 147. Of the new records, 5 extend the known ranges of species southward and 4 extend ranges northward.

Pagan (570 m.) in the background (D. A. Polhemus photo). 2 Aquatic Insect Surveys on Pagan Island, Mariana Islands Fig. 1. Aerial view of Pagan as seen looking south from above Lake Sanhiyon. The Bandeera Peninsula is visible in the middle distance. The prominent mountain massif in the center of the picture consists of the twin peaks of Mt. Maru and Mt. Togari. The highest peaks on the island, lying beyond to the south, are un-named on current topographic maps. Note the plume of low salinity water from the inflow springs cutting at an angle across the lake surface the in the lower right hand portion of the picture. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The island of Pagan, one of the largest in the Northern Marianas, lacks perennial streams but possesses an interesting set of lentic ecosystems, including two mixohaline lakes lying at differing elevations, and a tidally influenced, diurnally transient freshwater wetland. The island also features diverse intertidal systems on its rugged coastlines with tide pools formed in both basalt and limestone exposures. Collections of aquatic insects were made from these inland water and intertidal habitats at 8 sampling stations ranging in elevation from 0–15 m.
