There were 2025 species reported in the Fourth State Catalogue (1899) for the State of Ohio. This number was supposed to be approximately correct, since those of previous lists were discarded which are known to have been erroneously identified or were unquestionably beyond our range. In the First Annual Supplement sixty-nine additions were made, and in Additions to the Ohio Flora, (O. S. U. NATURALIST, 1:15) twenty-two more were recorded. Therefore those enumerated above bring our grand total to 2128 species of Pteridophytes and Spermatophytes.
A NEW SPECIES OF GOMPHUS
AND ITS NEAR RELATIVES.
James S. Hine.
Gomphus viridifrons n. sp. Length of the abdomen about 33 mm., hind wing about 27 mm.; black, face and occiput green; prothorax with anterior margin and three spots green or yellow; thorax green with spaces at base of wings, lateral suture and six bands before black, the two middle bands are abbreviated anteriorly and separated by the mid-dorsal carina which is very feebly green. Abdomen black, a dorsal band and sides of first two or three segments yellowish, a yellow spot at base of each of segments four to seven, and sides of eight and nine usually yellowish.
Abdominal appendages of the male straight, about as long as the tenth segment, from above, widest at base, gradually narrowed from apical third and acute at apex; from the side prominently widened at base, with a strong tooth beneath at two-thirds of the length. Hamules large, of nearly the same width for the whole length and ending behind in a hooked process. Vulvar scale almost as long as the ninth abdominal segment, gradually narrowed, apical third divided and the two parts divaricate.
Described from fourteen males and a female taken at Loudonville, Ohio, June 14, 1900; and a male and female taken at Ohio Pile, Pa.—the latter two specimens by E. B. Williamson.
