Text Appearing Before Image:
294 ZOO-GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION (CH. together witli the total absence of Gomfhinae (except Ictinus australis). Tasmania. This island is poor in Odonata, though rich in large rivers. Most of the Dragonfiies are still-water forms. This suggests that the fauna chiefly crossed from Australia at a time when the land-connection (Bassian Isthmus) was too small to carry many running rivers, and only possessed isolated ponds or shallow lagoons (174). New Zealand. This isolated province is very poor in all forms of insect life. There are only eight known species of Dragon- flies, comprised in the seven genera Uropetala, Aeschna, Somato- chlora, Procordulia, Diplacodes, Austrolestes and Xanthocneniis.

America, the reader is referred to the introduction in Ris (130).

The principal groups are the Marshalls, Gilberts, Tonga, Samoa, the Marquesas, Tahiti, and the Hawaiian Islands. The interesting fauna of the Hawaiian Islands has been fully dealt with by Perkins (ii4-ii6j. There are two peculiar genera, Nesogonia (Lihellulinae) and Megalagrion, besides a large number of species referred to the genus Agrion, whose larvae live in w^ater collected at the bases of the leaves of plants, and possess reduced caudal gills. The non-continental character of the fauna of the Polynesian Islands is shewn by the absence of all subfamilies except Aeschninae,
