DISPAPtONEURA (Selys, 1860). 



This geuus, the only form iu 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 Mahiy Archipelago. 



DlSP.^BONEUEA WUTATA (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 probabl}' Disparoneura mulata, also described by Selys 

 from the MacLachlan 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 est:iblished.
