Records of the Indian Museum. 



[Vol. XIII, 



Many of them are rare, or dwell in regions difficult of access, so 

 that it is not surprising to find amongst them a considerable num- 

 ber of new species. 



In discussing these and other members of the group, most 

 of which are but little known, I have found it advisable to suggest 

 certain modifications in the accepted classification. Hence this 

 part is more lengthy than that dealing with the Caloptery- 

 gidae. 



I have again to acknowledge my thanks to Messrs H. and 

 F, W. Campion for admirable wing-photographs. I am also 

 indebted to the former for much helpful advice and criticism. 



References to Selys' s^^stematic writings on the Agrioninae are 

 given where necessary, for the sake of brevity, as follows : — 



Synopsis=5w/^. Acad. Belg. (2) x, p. 12 seq. (i860). 

 Revision=Mgm. Coiiv. xxxviii, p. 8 seq. (1886). 

 Odonates de Birmanie=/^ ww. Mus. Civ. Genova (2) x, 

 p. 433 seq. (1891). 



I hope to complete this account of the Agrionidae in a subse- 

 quent paper dealing with the section or legion " Agrion," with as 

 little delay as possible.
