id., Rev. ties Agrionines, p. 171 (1&86) ; Indoneura gotnphoides, 

 Laid., Rec. hid. Mus. XIII, p. 3^7 (1917). 



Male. Abdomen 36 mm. Hindwing 26 mm. 



The markings in the adult stage are all turquoise blue, the 

 thoracic ground colour is citron yellow only in teneral specimens 

 and soon passes to pale blue whilst the humeral stripes take on a 

 deeper shade. 



The abdomen is moderately robust and short, and built more 

 on the lines of Calicnemis eximia. 



The wings are moderately sharply pointed at the apex; ac is 

 situated midway between the two antenodal nervures and meets 

 ab well away from the posterior margin of the wing; Cu z is 11 

 cells in length : the stigma is dark brown framed in black ner- 

 vures ; the postnodal nervures in the forewing number 19-22. 



Female. The markings in this sex are a dirty grey, the 

 humeral stripe often having an ochreous hue. The markings on 

 the end segments of the abdomen are bluish. 



Habits. This species frequents streams on the kundahs (open 

 grassy country) around Ootacamund, where in restricted localities 

 it may be seen swarming during the early months of the year be- 

 fore the onset of the monsoon. The break of the rains in June 

 leads in a few days to its total disappearance although on fine 

 days or during temporary breaks in the monsoon, a few stragglers 

 may be seen. 



Indoneura ramburi, sp. nov. 



Disparoneuragomphoid.es, Selys, I.e. (1886). 



Male. Abdomen 44 mm. * Hindwing 30 mm. 



The markings do not differ markedly from those of Indoneura 

 gotnphoides and are coloured turquoise blue in the adult, citron 

 yellow in immature specimens. 



The abdomen is very long and slim when compared to that 

 of J. gomphoides and is built more on the lines of that of Coeliccia 

 renifera. 



The wings are more blunt at the apex; ac is situated much 

 nearer the basal antenodal nervure and meets ab almost or just 

 at the posterior margin of the wing ; C« a is 13 or more cells in 

 length ; the stigma is black ; the postnodal nervures number in the 

 forewing 22-32. 



The anal appendages do not differ from those of Indoneura 

 gomphoides. 



Female. Abdomen 42 mm. Hindwing 30 mm. 



Except for its greater length, not differing from the female 

 of I. gomphoides. Stigma pale brown. Postnodal nervures in 

 forewing 22-23. 



Habits. This species is found at a lower level than the former 

 and has a much more scattered and extended range between 3000 

 ft. to 6500 ft. It is never found in swarms as is I. gomphoides 

 and it often travels far from the neighbourhood of its native 

 streams, extending deep into the jungle.
