98 AN EXPEDITION TO MOUNT BATU LAWI. 
Prothorax and thorax rich blackish-brown above, pale below. 
Laterally the thorax is paler brown, with an obscure blue-grey 
humeral stripe. 
Abdomen slender, entirely brownish-black, with indications of 
paler marking on the dorsum of segments 8 to 9. 
Legs yellow, with black articulations and a brown longitudinal 
stripe on the dorsal side of the femora. 
Anal appendages brownish black, the upper pair conical, 
directed backwards, the lower pair running backwards and upwards, 
narrower and more pointed than upper pair, both pairs shorter than 
seoment 10 (see fig. 5). 
Dr. Ris has examined the specimen and has kindly furnished 
me with the following notes on it. “It is not a Teinobasis ag it 
7 pas toothed claws and simple superior appendages; also evidence 
“of post-ocular spots. The general form, the position of M 3 and 
“RS. as well as the character of the superior appendages forbid its 
“being referred to Pseudagrion without some stress to the defini- 
“tion of the genus. In the absence of the @ the position of the 
“specimen must remain doubtful. I have nothing to compare 
“exactly with it, not even Pseudagrion magnanimum from the 
“Aru Islands which also is not a Pseudagrion, but I think gene- 
“rically distinct from the present specimen.” 
Disparoneura moulton, sp. mn. 1¢. 11.5.11.
