DISPAKONEURA (Selys, 1860). 



This geims, the only form in the present fauna representative of 

 the Selysian "Legion Protoneura," includes a considerable number 

 of species, a few of which are recorded from tropical Africa, many 

 more from India, Ceylon, the Malay Peninsula and the western half of 

 the Malay Archipelago. 



DlSPARONEURA MUTATA (SclyS, 1886). 



Burmeister's Agrion glaucum was mistaken by Selys for this species 

 and consequently described as D. glauca; but Calvert proved 

 Burmeister's species to be the Enallagma glaucum of the present 

 paper. Very probably Disparoneura mutata, also described by Selys 

 from the MacLachlau Collection, is our species, and certainly it is the 

 same which Calvert described under that name ; this author gives a 

 small but very characteristic figure of the male appendages (printed 

 upside down). 



The name here adopted appears therefore well established.
