While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with edjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected teat the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

The larva of E. media can be distinguished from other species of Erythrodiplax by the presence of lateral spines on S8 and S9, the number of premental setae (n = 22), palpal setae (n = 7) and by the mandibular formula. We also provide a preliminary key to known South American larvae in the genus. Keywords: Brazil; coastal wetlands; dragonfly; exuvia; Anisoptera Introduction Erythrodiplax Brauer, 1868 is an American genus that includes 60 species (Schorr & Paulson, 2017), of which 40 are known to occur in Brazil (Pinto, 2017) and 18 are hitherto reported from the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Consatti, Santos, Renner & Périco, 2014;Costa,1971; Hanauer, Renner & Périco, 2014; Kittel & Engels, 2016; Renner, Périco & Sahlén, 2013, 2016; Renner, Périco, Sahlén, Santos & Consatti, 2015; Teixeira, 1971). The genus consists of many rather similar species, which makes diagnosis difficult.

The geographic distribution of the species is updated, and notes on its natural history are provided. Key words: Brazilian semi-arid; Caatinga; dragonfly; E. fervida; E. ochracea; Libellulinae A fêmea de Erythrodiplax leticia Machado é descrita e ilustrada. A distribuição geográfica da espécie é atualizada e são fornecidas informações sobre sua história natural. Erythrodiplax leticia Machado, 1995, was described based on males collected from two localities in Northeastern Brazil, where it was believed to be regionally endemic (Machado 1995). The species was later recorded from Itatira, Ceará (Nobre & Carvalho 2014), and Morro do Chapéu and Iaçu, Bahia (Carvalho & Bravo 2014). Males of E. leticia are easily recognizable by broad ochre-yellow basal patches with white veins on both pairs of wings (Machado 1995), but the female remains undescribed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe and illustrate the morphology of the female of E. leticia and update the geographic distribution of the species.

They are more visible in some species than others, but a hand, but it is more difficult when they are moving rapidly in flight, which of close look should distinguish them. Females lack the projecting structures and course is what migratory dragonflies are likely to be doing. Nevertheless, all of instead have a generally wider abdomen, enlarged to carry lots of eggs.

A basic knowledge of dragonfly anatomy is necessary. Dragonflies have a head, FLIERS vs. PERCHERS thorax, and abdomen. Dragonflies have two types of foraging behaviors. Fliers fly around to capture stigma insect prey or look for other dragonflies, and perchers rest on perches much forewing like flycatching birds do, keeping watch for potential prey, predators, or mem- nodus bers of their own species.

    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Dragonflies and Damselflies Havasu National Wildlife Refuge Dragonfly and damselfly at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge There are twenty-five dragonfly and damselfly species listed at the 37,515 acre Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, one of more than 540 refuges throughout the United States. These National Wildlife Refuges are administered by the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. The Fish and Wildlife Service mission is to work with others “to conserve fish and wildlife and their habitat.” General Information Havasu National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 37,515 acres adjacent to the Colorado River. Topock Marsh, Topock Gorge, and the Havasu Wilderness constitute the three major portions of the refuge. Dragonflies, an important Male blue-ringed dancer sedula indicator of water quality, can be found © Dave Welling Photography on the refuge, primarily in Topock Marsh Libellula luctuosa Tramea onusta and Topock Gorge.
