One of the female specimens under study (Lungsen, 11. <b>xi</b>.1976), has a lateral black patch on synthorax, on ferruginous background. The mark <i>is</i> more evident along the humeral suture and around <b>the</b> spiracle but becomes more distinct when the surface <b>Is</b> moistened with benzene. Dr. <b>M.A</b>. Lieftinck kindly confirmed its identity as C. <i> <i>s</i>. servilia</i> (<b>Drury</b>), so that the presence of such a mark appears to be an individual variation, although not mentioned in the description of this <b>subspecies</b> <i>b y</i> Fraser (1936). It may be noted that the presence of a V-shaped lateral black <i>markon</i> synthorax has been considered as one of the distinguishing characters <b>for</b> <i>Crocothemis indica Sahni</i> (Sahni, 1965, Lahiri <b>et</b>. al, 1972). <i>Distribution:</i> Ranging from Mesopotamia to Japan, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia.
