The re-examination of type specimens of the 3 spp., described by H.N. BAIJAL & J.P. AGARWAL (1955, Agra Univ. J. Res. (Sci.) 4:453-470) and deposited in ZSI, Calcutta, reveals that O.motis, P.orientalis and A.marginope are junior synonyms of Lestes umbrinus Selys, 1892, Disparoneura quadrimaculata (Rambur, 1842) and Hemianax ephippiger (Burmeister, 1839), respectively.
