3O ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Jan., 'l6 



That more systematic collecting will produce many more 

 species from this locality seems altogether probable. The hills 

 about the city are covered with the Adcnostoma, which seems 

 to be the breeding ground for many species. The low grow- 

 ing oaks, the varieties of Rhits and of Ceanothus are also 

 good producers. Farther back in the hills are to be found 

 many other shrubs and undergrowth that seem to abound in 

 members of this group. Then, too, the length of the season, 

 January first to December thirty-first on the coast, and from 

 March to December back in the higher altitudes away from 

 the coast, together with the lack of local collectors, makes it 

 quite reasonable to suppose that the Phycit student could 

 spend many profitable hours in this neighborhood. 



A New Dragonfly Genus of the Legion Protoneura 



(Odonata). 



By E. B. WILLIAMSON, Bluffton, Indiana. 



Recently, in sorting over the South American Agrionines 

 .collected by B. J. Rainey, L. A. Williamson and myself in 

 1912, I discovered two males unfortunately overlooked when 

 I studied the genus Protoneura (sens, lat.).* 



PHASMONEURA new genus. 



Closely related to Psaironcura. Colors dull ; abdomen long 

 and slender. Runs out in key page 620*, to Psalronciira. For 

 Psaironcura, following c 1 under b 2 , read as follows: 



M2 in front wing arising at seventh postnodal ; in hind wing at fifth. 



Phasmoncitra 



M2 in front wing arising proximad to seventh postnodal, usually 

 at the sixth or more proximad ; in hind wing at the fourth 



or proximad Psaironcura 



The subdivisions under ci under b2 remain unchanged, all relating 

 to species of Psaironeura. 



Cui in the front wings is very close to the wing margin, ter- 

 minating at the descending cross vein in three wings, while
