I9-7-] F. F. IvAiDLAW : Indian Dragonflies. 347 



cf Adult. Colouring black, with the following exceptions :— 



Head. — Upper lip with a narrow white margin, genae bluish- 

 white, eyes of the same colour, darkening towards the upper pole. 



Prothorax and thorax.~V entval surfaces yellowish-white. 



Abdomen. — Segments 1-2 brownish-white; 3-5 with small 

 postero-lateral whitish lunules on either side of the segment. 



A nal appendages. — Apex of the upper pair 

 white, lower pair dark brown. Viewed 

 from above the upper appendages are trian- 

 gular, the outer margins parallel to each 

 other, and the apices are prolonged to form 

 a fine projection. In profile they appear 

 bifid (text-fig. 6). 



The lower pair are relatively more 

 massive than in the last species. Fig. 6.—Disparoneura 



This is the smallest member of its genus • mgerrhna, sp. nov. 



it is also the first recorded from Central Anal appendages ^. 

 India. 



Disparoneura atkinsoni, Selys. 



Disparoneitra atkiiisoiii, Kirby, Cat. Odoimta, p. 133 (1890). 



The Burmese representative of the genus. Closely allied to 

 D. anahs, Selys, from Malacca, Sumatra and Borneo, but larger. 



Genus Indoneura^ Kirby. 



Unless, as is not unlikely, D. ivestermanni, Selys, is congeneric 

 with Indoneura goaiphoides (Ramb.), the genus is monotypic. 



The simple structure of the hinder margin of the prothorax 

 of the female is I think an important character, though a sexual 

 one. The type species is very considerably larger than any of the 

 species of the genus which stands next to it (Caconeura), and the 

 dense reticulation of the wings points, I think, to the genus being 

 a primitive one. 



Indoneura gomphoides (Ramb.) 

 (PI. XV, fig. 7). 



Disparoneura gomphoides, Kirby, Cat. Odonata, p. 134 (1S90). 



I or' I ? Talewadi, S. Kanara Distr., No. 4376/H.I.

 5) >, ,, 29 mm., ,, ,, 39 mm. 



Both specimens are fully adult. The female has not been 

 described.
