Two males, Seychelles, Dr. W. L. Abbott. 



By the position of the discoidal triangle of the front wings with 

 respect to that of the hind wings and the trapezoidal ptei'ostigma, 

 Schizonyx is allied to the group of Tramea, and most nearly ap- 

 proaches the tropical American genus Miathyria Kirby, but the latter 

 has no small prominence on the hind margin of the eyes, the nodal 

 sector is not waved beyond the middle, the front wings have 7-9 

 antecubitals, 5-8 postcubitals, the hind wings have 4-5 antecubitals, 

 6-9 postcubitals, and are proportionately broader at base than in 

 Schizonyx.

 longing to the same division of Disparoneura in Baron de Selys' Revision of 1886.

 the middle of the vein one cell after that which terminates the space under the 

 quadrilateral, upper sector of the triangle ending on the hind margin at about 

 the sixth cell after the quadrilateral, an uninterrupted yellow band running 

 across the front of the head from eye to eye, the two juxta-humeral spots of
