(Cretapetaluri­ dae fam. nov.) is described from the Lower Cretaceous Santana Formation of the Araripe Basin of Brazil, and a new sub­ family, genus and species of Petalurida, Pseudocymatophlebia henn.igi gen. nov. et sp. nov. (Pseudocymatophlebiinae subfam. nov. in Aktassiidae) is described from the Lower Cretaceous Weald Clay of England. A new specie Aktassia pritykinae sp. nov. is described from the Lower Cretaceous of Mongolia. 1l1e description of new material enables us to revise the phyla­ genetic position of the genera Protolindenia Deichmliller 1886, Aeschnogomphus Handlirsch 1906, Mesuropetala Handlirsch 1906, and Cymatophlebia Deichmliller 1886 from the Upper Jurassic of Germany, and to designate neotypes for Protolinde­ nia willei and Mesuropetala koehleri. Aeschnogomphus and Aktassia Pritykina 1968 are considered to be sister-genera with­ in the Petalurida - Aktassiidae (subfamily Aktassiinae stat. nov.). Aeschnogomphus buchi (Hagen 1848) is recognized as valid name for Aeschnogomphus charpentieri (Hagen 1848). Mesuropetala, formerly considered to be a petalurid, is regard­ ed as a basal Aeshnoptera; and Protolindenia, formerly considered to be a gomphid, is transferred to the Petalurida, as most basal member of the stem-group of Petaluridae. The phylogenetic positions of Mesuropeta/a auliensis Pritykina 1968, Mesuropetala costalis Pritykina 1968, Protolin.denia aktassica Pritykina 1968 (in Kazakhophlebiella gen. nov. et comb. nov.) and Proto/indenia deichmuel/eri Pritykina 1968 (in Pritykiniella gen. nov. et comb. nov.) (all Upper Jurassic taxa from Karatau, Turkestan,Russian Federation), are discussed. Also, the phylogenetic positions of Miopetalura shanwangica Zhang 1989 and Miopetalura orientalis (Hong 1985) (Middle Miocene of China) are discussed and these taxa are transferred from the Petaluridae to the Gomphides- Lindeniinae and Anisoptera incertae sedis respectively. The English Lower Cretaceous Aeschnopsis perampla (Brodie 1845) and Cy rnatophlebiopsis pseudobubas Handlirsch 1939 are revised, synonymised and considered to belong to Anisoptera incertae seclis. The Lower Cretaceous genus Necrogornphus Campion 1923 with two species N. petrificatus (Hagen 1850) and N. jurassicus (Giebel 1850) is revised and also referred to Anisoptera incertae sedis. l11e phylogenetic positions of Protolindenia, Aeschnogomphus, Aktassia, Pseudocymatophlebia gen. nov., and Cretapetalura gen. nov. within the Petalurida are discussed and a phylogenetic analysis of the fossil and extant Petalurida is presented. The Petalurida are identified as sister-group of all remaining extant Anisoptera (Euanisoptera). The new phylogenetic system of Anisoptera by Bechly (1996) is confirmed, and new phylogenetic definitions of the taxon names of Petalurida are proposed. 1l1e evolution and historical biogeography of Petalurida is discussed.

  • Adam's Emerald Dragonfly
    Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly - Archaeophya adamsi December 2013, Primefact 187, Third edition Fisheries Ecosystems Unit, Port Stephens Fisheries Institute Description The Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly (also called Horned Urfly) is a moderately large, robust Dragonfly. Larvae grow to about 23mm in length and have a large two-lobed frontal plate on the head (see Figure 1), which distinguishes them from any other species found in NSW. The adults have a brown-black body with yellow markings, and a slight green or bluish metallic reflection on some parts. The abdomen length is around 46 mm and wingspan around 75 mm. Habitat and ecology Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly larvae have been Figure 1: Adult Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly (Photo: found in narrow, shaded riffle zones with CSIRO Entomology) and larva (Photo: J. Hawking, moss and abundant riparian vegetation (often Line drawing: G. Theischinger) closed canopy) in small to moderate sized creeks with gravel or sandy bottoms. Introduction All dragonflies are predatory. The larvae stalk or ambush aquatic prey while the adults The Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly (Archaeophya capture prey while flying. adamsi Fraser) is one of Australia’s rarest Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly larvae may live, in dragonflies.

  • Critical Species of Odonata in Australia
    ---Guardians of the watershed. Global status of Odonata: critical species, threat and conservation --- Critical species of Odonata in Australia John H. Hawking 1 & Gunther Theischinger 2 1 Cooperative Research Centre for Freshwater Ecology, Murray-Darling Freshwater Research Centre, PO Box 921, Albury NSW, Australia 2640. <[email protected]> 2 Environment Protection Authority, New South Wales, 480 Weeroona Rd, Lidcombe NSW, Australia 2141. <[email protected]> Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, IUCN, critical species, conservation, Australia. ABSTRACT The Australian Odonata fauna is reviewed. The state of the current taxonomy and ecology, studies on biodiversity, studies on larvae and the all identification keys are reported. The conservation status of the Australian odonates is evaluated and the endangered species identified. In addition the endemic species, species with unusual biology and species, not threatened yet, but maybe becoming critical in the future are discussed and listed. INTRODUCTION Australia has a diverse odonate fauna with many relict (most endemic) and most of the modern families (Watson et al. 1991). The Australian fauna is now largely described, but the lack of organised surveys resulted in limited distributional and ecological information. The conservation of Australian Odonata also received scant attention, except for Watson et al. (1991) promoting the awareness of Australia's large endemic fauna, the listing of four species as endangered (Moore 1997; IUCN 2003) and the suggesting of categories for all Australian species (Hawking 1999). This conservation report summarizes the odonate studies/ literature for species found in Continental Australia (including nearby smaller and larger islands) plus Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. Australia encompasses tropical, temperate, arid, alpine and off shore island climatic regions, with the land mass situated between latitudes 11-44 os and 113-154 °E, and flanked on the west by the Indian Ocean and on the east by the Pacific Ocean.

The present study provides a well- substantiated phylogeny of the Libelluloidea generated from gene fragments of two independent genes, the 16S and 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and using models that take into account non-independence of correlated rRNA sites. Ninety-three ingroup taxa and six outgroup taxa were amplified for the 28S fragment; 78 ingroup taxa and five outgroup taxa were amplified for the 16S fragment.

  • Of the Anisopteran Vesica Spermalis (Odonata)
    ------- Received 08 November 2004; revised and accepted 29 june 2005 ------- Structure, function and evolution of the 'glans' of the anisopteran vesica spermalis (Odonata) Hans Klaus Pfau Rathenaustra&e 14, D-65326 Aarbergen, Germany. <[email protected]> Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, functional morphology, secondary copulatory apparatus, sperm-transfer, sperm displacement, evolution, phylogenetic systematics. ABSTRACT Comparative investigations of the distal part of the vesica spermalis ('glans') of the anisopteran male secondary copulatory apparatus reveal three different 'solutions' of combining the emptying-mechanism of the sperm-reservoir with a 'washing out' of sperm of the male predecessor. The responsible apparatus of the glans - actually driven by pressure-changes inside the erectile organ, which is a part of the whole vesica spermalis - is shortly apostrophized as 'two-way tap' (Gomphaeschnidae, Aeshnidae), pressure-suction pump (Austropetaliidae, Gomphidae, Petaluridae, Chlorogomphidae, Neopetaliidae, Cordulegastridae) and suction-pressure pump ('Corduliidae', Cordulephyidae, Gomphomacromiidae, Synthemistidae, Libelluli­ dae). The two types of sperm-pump are interpreted to effectuate an intensification of the sperm-jet and to serve as auxiliary devices in emptying the sperm-reservoir. On account of the opposite co-ordination of extension and compression, the two types of sperm-pump are interpreted as alternative; no possibility could be detec­ ted to form evolutionary transitions without total loss of functions. This indicates two monophyletic groups: Petaluroidea and Libelluloidea. The phylogenetic relation­ ships between these groups and the Gomphaeschnidae and Aeshnidae remained questionable. The different stages of evolution of the glans, which reflect phylo­ genetic splittings, are reconstructed. It is assumed that at the beginning a pre­ gomphaeschnoid glans (or a gomphaeschnoid 'two-way tap' with tongue?) used two functional pores of ejaculation and scattered sperm on account of the erectile organ-coupled movements of the glans.
