  • A Review of the Taxonomy of African Odonata - Finding Ways to Better Identification and Biogeographic Insight
    Cimbebasia 18: 191-206, 2003 191 A review of the taxonomy of African Odonata - finding ways to better identification and biogeographic insight Klaas-Douwe B. Dijkstra Gortestraat 11, NL-2311 MS Leiden, The Netherlands: e-mail: [email protected] The taxonomy of the approximately 850 species of sub-Saharan African Odonata is relatively well-known, probably due to the impoverished nature of the fauna as compared to that of other tropical regions. The need for revisions, study of higher classification, comprehension of (often clinal, environmentally induced) variability and knowledge of larvae, phylogeny and biogeogra- phy are stressed. Taxonomic priorities are discussed for each family. Supportive activities include the production of identification manuals for a broader public, the accumulation of supplemen- tary material and the conservation of existing collections. A list of genera with estimated num- bers of species, taxonomic status and references is provided, as well as a list of important regional works. INTRODUCTION biogeography. The first priority for the taxonomy of African Odonata is, therefore, revisions. Although not as well studied as the Holarctic and Australasian Region’s faunas, knowledge of the REVISIONS & REVIEWS taxonomy of African Odonata is well ahead of those of the Oriental and Neotropic Regions. The It is hardly an exaggeration to say that all genera main reason is that the African fauna is relatively require at least some study. Elliot Pinhey tackled impoverished, harbouring only about 60% of the many problems, as can be seen from the nume- number of species found in each of the two other rous referrals to his work in the Appendix.

ABSTRACT. Navicordulia aemulatrix sp. nov. (Odonata, Corduliidae) from northeastern Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Navicordulia aemulatrix sp. nov. (holotype male deposited in MZSP: Brazil, Santa Catarina State, [São Bento do Sul municipality, 26°14’58”S, 49°22’59”W], [railroad station] Rio Vermelho, II.1952) is described and illustrated based on three males. The long cercus (2.9-3.2 mm) places this species in the longistyla-group together with N. kiautai, N. longistyla and N. nitens but it differs from them mainly by the shape of cercus, with carinated part occupying 0.33 of cercus total length, and also by dorsal, ventro-medial and ventro- lateral tubercles developed. An unusual process on tergal portion of prothorax is reported for the first time inNavicordulia . The rate of description of new species of South American ‘Corduliidae’ is discussed. A map with records of Atlantic Forest Navicordulia species and a list of Brazilian corduliids by state are also presented. KEYWORDS. Anisoptera; Corduliinae; dragonfly; morphology; taxonomy. RESUMO.

ISSN 1476-2552 18 Agrion 20(2) - July 2016 AGRION NEWSLETTER OF THE WORLDWIDE DRAGONFLY ASSOCIATION AGRION is the Worldwide Dragonfly Association’s (WDA’s) newsletter, published twice a year, in January and July. The WDA aims to advance public education and awareness by the promotion of the study and conservation of dragonflies (Odonata) and their natural habitats in all parts of the world. AGRION covers all aspects of WDA’s activities; it communicates facts and knowledge related to the study and conservation of dragonflies and is a forum for news and information exchange for members. AGRION is freely available for downloading from the WDA website at http://worlddragonfly.org/?page_id=125. WDA is a Registered Charity (Not-for-Profit Organization), Charity No. 1066039/0. ________________________________________________________________________________ Editor’s notes Keith Wilson [[email protected]] Conference News 4th European Congress on Odonatology, Tyringe, Sweden, 11-14 July, 2016.

  • A Molecular Phylogeny and Classification of Anisoptera (Odonata)
    73 (2): 281 – 301 20.8.2015 © Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, 2015. A molecular phylogeny and classification of Anisoptera (Odonata) F L C*,1, K M. K 2 & M L. M1 1 Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Department of Entomology, 96 Lipman Drive, New Brunswick, New Jersey, 18901, USA; Frank L. Carle * [[email protected]] — 2 Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources, New Brunswick, New Jersey, 18901, USA — *Corresponding author Accepted 09.vi.2015. Published online at www.senckenberg.de/arthropod-systematics on 07.viii.2015. Abstract A phylogeny of Anisoptera employing 510 representatives of 184 genera (of ca. 380) in 11 families is presented based on an analysis of over 10,000 nucleotides from portions of the large and small subunit nuclear and mitochondrial ribosomal RNA’s, the mitochondrial protein coding genes COI and COII, and portions of the nuclear protein coding genes EF-1α and Histone H3. Ribosomal sequences were structurally aligned and sequences carefully checked to eliminate alignment errors, contamination, misidentification and paralogous gene amplicons. Both the RAxML and Bayesian topology based on consolidation of data at the generic level is ((Austropetaliidae, Aeshni- dae), ((Gomphidae, Petaluridae), ((Chlorogomphidae, (Neopetaliidae, Cordulegastridae)), (Synthemistidae, (Macromiidae, (Corduliidae, Libellulidae)))))). As the positions of Petaluridae, Chlorogomphidae, Neopetaliidae, and Cordulegastridae are weakly supported, possible alternative hypotheses are discussed. New taxonomic groups established include: in Gomphidae, Stylogomphini trib.n. and Davidioidini trib.n., and in Libellulidae, Dythemistinae subfam.n. including Dythemistini trib.n., Pachydiplactini trib.n. and Elgini trib.n. New taxo- nomic arrangements include: placement of Hemigomphini in Ictinogomphinae, and provisional expansion of Synthemistidae to include Gomphomacromiinae and a number of genera formerly placed in several small subfamilies of Corduliidae.
