Reid. – can’t be certain it isn’t diapyra Coryphaeschna apeora Paulson (probably, but photo record only) from Bullhead Creek, 3 mi E of Vance in Real Co. on 15-July-2009 by Troy Hibbits. Micrathyria ocellata – possible photo record from Santa Ana, but can’t confirm with certainty Chrysobasis lucifer – photographed at NABA by M. Reid Uncertain/Dubious Records: Lestes dryas Kirby (Johnson 1972, p.111) L. simplex Hagen (Johnson 1972, p.65) Enallagma cyathigerum (Charp.) (Johnson. 1972, p. 111) Arigomphus pallidus (Rambur) Macromia wabashensis Williamson (M. taeniolata x M. pacifica) Libellula quadrimaculata Linnaeus S. pallipes (Hagen) (N & W 1955) Species that may occur in Texas More than 70 species could still show up in Texas; WEST OR NORTH (23) – most in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. These are LESTIDAE based largely on geographic proximity and some are Spotted Spreadwing (Lestes congener) much more likely to occur than others. Species in Northern Spreadwing (L. disjunctus) bold may have already been photographed, but Emerald Spreadwing (L. dryas) positive identification can not be made.
